Wow...That is unintentionally funny as hell!

I've changed the seal twice and used RTV; it holds up for a few months then
starts leaking again.  I'm thinking

Oddly enough, I cleaned out the breather hole at the top of the tranny
hoping it would help slow down the leak, and it accelerated it, leading me
to believe that I just clogged the breather further.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.  I'll report back when I get it
un-snugged.
