Title: Bad leak or bad tranny (350 turbo)??
Post by: tombone74 on June 07, 2004, 10:41:00 pm

Here's a good one. I have a 1980 Chevy K10 4x4, it has a 350 engine and a TH350 transmission. Originally thought to have the industructable TH400. Anyway, my problem is a strange leak around the accumulator cover (just behind the dipstick tube on passengers side, TH350 only). I've never had a transmission leak there before. The fluid does need changing, it's dirty, but not burned. Should I reseal the leak and replace the filter and fluid or is this a sign of other problems?????

i would start at the cheapest route. change fluids and replace the filter and try to reseal it there.
