Oh no! Hope it's not the same thing that happened to my '67. Check to
see if it is coming out the nose cone where the shifter comes out. If
so, bad news. Ijust refill the trans. oil after long trips, and am
waiting until I have to pull the entire transaxle for something else to
replace the seal/bushing. Hopefully yours is something else.
