You don’t mention if this is an overdrive transmission or not.  If an overdrive, then the seal at the electric solenoid could be leaking.  That particular seal on the T-85 in my ’55 Customline was troublesome in that area and I eventually put two seals stacked on top of each other at that location and haven’t had any oil seeps since.

Yea it is an overdrive....I may look at that, i havent got the OD working since i put it together but i think that is a wiring issue and it is either too cold or raining to crawl under it on the street so i've just been driving it, so i guess i should since it could wear in the new seal.

I'm seeing a puddle under my '59 and it kinda looks transmission related, this is a low mile car that might have already had a transmission rebuild(or shitty original install with a bunch of missing and loose bolts). I did goop all gaskets and also between the case and cluster shaft (a spot where muncies leak). This is starting to look like the case itself has a leak, i wouldnt even imagine this except the casting is one of the shittyiest i have ever seen, there are patches in the casting that are really ugly. If this is the case i'm at the point i will t85 and switch to the lincoln 368 that i already have an adapter for
