So, I got the transmission replaced in the wagon with the one from RCKSTR/squeethebee (thanks again guys!). So far, everything seems to be going well more or less, except it's pissing out gear oil somewhere. I've gone through probably 3-4quarts in the 6 or so weeks I've had it back. I finally got under it the other day, and it looked to me like the rear driveshaft seal was leaking. The transmission case itself seemed dry, but the driveshaft, exhaust, and undercarriage were soaked from there back.
My mechanic took it today to replace that seal, but couldn't see that it was leaking there or anywhere else. Granted it's pouring today, and he said that may be why he can't see anything; he's going to take a look again once the weather dries out. In the mean time, does anyone have any other ideas of where this leak could be coming from if not from the driveshaft/axle seals? The stains on my garage floor indicate it's coming from the front of the transmission, but again, he said he couldn't see any leaks.
Any thoughts, no matter how extraordinary, are welcome.
