I own a 56 Ford Victoria with a Ford-o-matic trans.  Would appreciate any and all advice on a problem I am having.  This car was completely rebuilt, but sat for many years after the rebuild.  The car drives perfect and everything works.  The only problem that I have is leaking from the pump seal (I believe).  Should I take it in for repair or should I drive it for a few hundred miles to see if the seal will work.  Or should I buy some stop leak for it?  I hate to spend money on something I don't need to.  I can't work on the car myself because I have no equipment and to be honest don't know a thing about an automatic trans.  Please advise.  Thank You
