and my 2 cents I did that when i first got the van then not 18 mths later I
had to rebuild the tranny
you might consider the seal as ealier waring of impending auto implosion :)
and to fix the seal your gotta drop the tranny any ways either ignore &
refill or rebuild
and dont forget as it leaks it will rot your coolant hoses as well :(
