T-18 leak help
I was wondering if anyone is familiar with common leak points on T-18 transmissions? I am not sure if it leaking from the tail stock or the two shafts that protrude out the rear of the tranny. Any thoughts?

If you, a PO or a shop rebuilt it before, sometimes a dedicated seal puller-outer is used. If they're not careful, they could nick the flange where the seal sits creating a leak between the flange and metal seal.
Easy fix: Pull the seal again and using your finger, spread a small amount of RTV on the flange where the scrape is. Reinstall seal and you're good to go.
