Just wanted to check before I order a new line: my transmission is leaking at the nut to the cooler. I’m guessing it’s deformed at this point, since it doesn’t want to get any tighter and still leaks. Is there a trick to this, or is it just damaged? I’ll be dropping it in another hour or so to check the threads, but I wanted to get some advice first.
On the same note, I had to remove the dipstick recently, and the otterstat seal I was using in place of the o-ring swelled and wouldn’t fit back in. I tried just using an O-ring and RTV, but it leaks when filled, without even turning the car on. Is there a trick to getting the O-ring to work, or should I just order another otterstat seal?
Thanks!
