Thread: mystery leak on driveway only when parked on incline (even slight)

Rob..when you say grade, nose up or nose down?

I'm assuming nose up. If so, then that would be a tweaked spot or rust bubble on the dipstick tube where the holding tab was welded to it. See pic

Yes, you are correct. It seems to be only nose up. I wondered about a reverse or forward servo cover leaking too. However, if it's just the dipstick tube I don't think I need worry too much. You think?

Strikes me odd also, that it has been like this since almost new. Maybe after a year it started?

Say someone moved the tube, just the right way (pretend I don't have extensive experience "adjusting" these things) and it ripped one of the welds a little. That is enough to do it.

At most, I'd get under there...wipe it with a brake cleaner rag, then toss a little blob of RTV in the area. Let it dry and hope for the best. If you succeed, smile..if not.. say "oh well" and go on with life.
