    350 turbo weeping !!

     



    Just had my 350 turbo rebuilt and now when i park for awhile or im on a incline it drips tranny fluid from around the drive shaft yoke where it goes into the back of the transmission. The person that rebuilt this said its a common problem with those , and that they would put silicon were a weep hole is . Is this something that has been addressed on this fourm before ? If so is it a easy fix ?? Thanks for all the help .

    do not know about a fix but my 350 does the same thing when it is on the ramps for awhile. i think it is a seal.

    A few of thoughts come to mind.

    The seal is bad (possibly damaged when the drive shaft was installed)

    The yoke is pitted or has a grove worn in it.

    The rear bushing is worn.

    The plug in the end of the yoke is leaking.
    I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

    I would bet the yoke is worn.
    It's easy..Just ask someone that hasn't ever done it!
    See ya on the road.
