this 5.0 V8 clubwagon had 185,000miles, but a rebuilt engine was installed at 135k. It drove great, paint looked really good, trans was a bit notchy to get into 2nd, but 4 speed OD was good. 4R70W tranny, U code on the door sticker. But AGAIN this one had the similar leak, oil collected on the bell housing of the tranny, most of the rear oil pan was covered in oil too.. the owner told me he doesnt fill any oil from change to change.. but it was pretty wet down there.. had bunch of new stuff at 135k due to the rebuilt motor.. also had newer tires and exhaust.. but he wanted 2900.. for 185k... so i think im going to continue my search...

well, i hope to own a clubwagon soon... thanks again for everyones advice and inputs, now i know what to look for!
