Hi everyone I have a 53 bel air with 3 speed manual transmission. On our last car meet I found a leak a small puddle under the car. When I raised the car I found the leak coming from the shift levers. I have ordered a transmission seal kit, although the necessary seals doesnt comes with the Felpro kit nor the seal for side hump cover. I was wondering anybody have links to order the items?

Seems odd that it can leak that much from the shift levers by just sitting at a show...unless the car is laying flat on the ground on bags. That can have the rear axle gear oil travel to the trans and overfill it. .
Great point, you'd almost have to see that to understand it. Or the box is grossly over-filled itself?
My '49 weeps a little at the same spot, and I have yet to find anyone that makes the gaskets. (Spoke with filling station, sent them pictures, and they said they had nothing).
