I picked up an interesting tip to help leaking transmissions from Mac VP. The pin in the back that runs through the two shafts is a source of hard to find leaks. Even though it seems like a tight fit, hot oil can find it's way out of the case through this point.
Mac's solution it to put a dab of RTV on it as it goes it and, most importantly, around the "head" of the pin. He also suggests to insert the pin with the head towards the ground.
When placing or resetting it in the case with RTV around the head, try to clamp it and let it sit overnight. He said he's found this procedure has helped stop some of these notorious leaks.
