Rick, it looks like it has been blowing up from an overflow? Is your engine oil level OK? Why do you use such lightweight oil in your tranny?

Rick, check the oil level in the trans. It looks like blow off from over pressure. A common fix is a vented trans plate sold by Trask.

Morning Woods. BroSon is picking me up for therapy today. I guess this makes Bob BroGandpa? Lol, Manny is funny, he's been calling me dad. I like it.

It started when I had 75/90 gear oil in it.

I had the fluid transfer problem where the tranny fluid was ending up in the primary. That was fixed 20k ago. I think that is the issue as mentioned.

Fluid levels were good yesterday when I checked. Have not checked yet today.
