Corvette trans leak
Sent to Car Experts October 30 09:45 AM

I have a 1984 corvette that sat for a few years. It now loses transmission fluid when parked. At times it loses 2 or 3 quarts in a few hours. Other times it doesn’t lose anything. What are the things I should look or?

The thing to do is find out what part of the trans is leaking then a plan of action can be taken.
Clean things up as best you can and put a peice of carboard under the car and watch where the leak is coming from
Post back and we'll give you an answer worth paying for.

Response to enginboy's Post: It seems to be leaking towards the passenger front of the transmission.

you are going to have to narrow it down a little better than that I can think of about 3 things that could leak in that area the pan the torque convert-front seal the shift shaft.
The pan and shift shaft are easy,the trans has to come out for the front seal.

Why does it only leak when it's not running.
