Replaced transmission filter and gasket because it was still leaking.  Very clean.  I was told it was a newly rebuilt tranny with not too many miles.  There were no shavings.  Clean filter too.  About the only thing was a couple of bugs that had crawled over the last decade while the tube was out.
 
 
Well, the new gasket didn't stop the leak.  In fact, it was a lot worse.  I looked around while tranny fluid was going every where and found that when they were replacing either the tranny or engine, they had crushed a tranny coolant line near the motor mount and had replaced it with rubber hose.  That hose had moved over and touched the exhaust manifold and got a hole melted in it.  It really sprayed when I found the hole.  I replaced the hosed and stopped the leak.
 
 
I flushed the power steering lines before connecting them.  I think there's a  leak in the steering box but it may be fluid still running off.  I know there's a leak in the rear main seal.  It will have to wait until we pull the engine.
