I have noticed a leak under my car and jacked it up to investigate.

Fluid is red and dripping from near the rear of the transmission.

I crawled under the car and wiped the fluid off the surrounding area 

and let it set over night.

This morning it was more apparent where the fluid was leaking from.

I discovered that my speedometer cable has been repaired/patched.  

Someone used copper and crimped it around the cable -- maybe to 

patch a defective section of the outer cable.

The transmission fluid is leaking out of the patched area (about a foot from the end) 

and traveling down the cable and then dripping on the floor.

Not knowing much about speedometers and transmissions -- my question is:

Is it normal for transmission fluid to enter into the speedometer cable?

If so, seems like a patch on the cable is a temporary fix and the cable 

needs to be replaced.

Any one know a source for a NOS or repopped speedometer cable?

Thanks,

Doug
