My steering rack seeps a bit. Jag IFS. Just a cat marking its territory.

I kinda had this thread in mind driving home today, and when I pulled into the driveway and saw my truck sitting there I had to laugh a little. My driveway has a decent incline to it and I back my truck into the driveway.
What made me laugh was the reason for this. When I posted earlier I mentioned that it weeps a bit out of the rear tranny seal......well, thats when its parked on flat gorund. On my inclined driveway it will definately leave a spot. When I back it in the incline is enough to keep the tranny juice where it ought to be.

Hows that for lazy? It doesn't take much to pop in a new rear seal but, nooooo, its easier to back in.....someday

My C4 leaked a LOT when I got it and swapped out the fluid. Narrowed it down to the shift shaft seal and the kickdown seal (both on the shift shaft). Of course, to change the shift shaft seal, you have to drop the valve body, which would have been a lot easier before I got the truck back together. After a couple of hours on the floor, working overhead with reading glasses on (sucks to finally need those), I got the seals replaced. I have only driven it around the neighborhood, but so far, so good.
