Sorry for answering so late, but I ended up having someone weld the hole close. But the problem still exist as tranny oil still leaks. It seem that is coming out of the front. I just had the car jacked up in the rear with the front down and the oil is coming out of the front of the tranny. I currently don't have a dust cover so the oil is clearly coming down that way. Are my internal seals bad? I never worked on one so I'm not sure what to look for.
