Unhappy Transmission leak

I have a 1963 390 CID with a C4 in my 1964 half ton. Problem is I have a puddle of transmission fluid near the rear of the engine. This truck sat for 10 years and I just got it started this morning. Any ideas what the leak is and how hard is it to repair?

Clean the Whole thing off & run the "Olde Girl" again.
Then trace the leak to its origin, as that'll tell you where & probaly give you some Idea of how hard it'll be to fix depending on the origin of the leaks location.

He said exactly what you need to do. Check the fluid and follow his directions.

If the leak is hard to spot that way, clean it all again really well and put a piece of white poster board under it and watch for drips.

Report back (in this thread) and we will do our best to help you.
