Re: Automatic Transmission Question

If the drip is on the right side it's probably your dipstick tube O ring
needs replacing.  On the left side or drivers side it could be speedo gear
housing O rings or shift cables O rings.  It is very common/normal for the
converter to bleed down from gravity over time.

Subject: Automatic Transmission Question
 
I have a simple question about a 727 in my 64 Plymouth.  The car is on
the edge between a parts car and a driver and currently it is not being
driven often.
 
When it sits for a few weeks I have to keep a pan under the
transmission, I'll get a good puddle of trans fluid.
 
I finally put it on jack stands and decided to try to find the leak.  I
have the car level as it would be on the wheels.  I checked the fluid
running in neutral and it was 1/2 pint low.  I checked the oil level
after a couple of weeks without starting it and now it is 2 1/2" above
the full mark.
 
Is this normal and if not is the torque converter leaking down and
overfilling the transmission?
 
So far I have not had the time to get under the car and try to find
where it is leaking from.
 
Thanks
