Bob,

Sounds like a front seal to me---
I would add that prior to any long trip--

E-mail message From Bob�mendonca --

We are having transmission leak problems on our 88 Vanagon when it is
cold. It seems to only leak when the engine is cold and doesn't seem to
use transmission fluid as long as the engine is warm.
We have tried various products, but none of them seem to stop the
leaking problem. We are getting ready for a long trip to Arizona in a
couple of days and want to add this before we go.
