Transmission oozing Fluid

[william myers]

What does this indicate? Started up the engine for
about 30 seconds this weekend and noticed that
transmission fluid was immediately coming out of the
overflow tube while at idle. This happened two times
when I started the motor (everything cold). Just
finished a 600 mile trip a month ago so unlikely too
full.

Thanks,
Bill '74 Glacier

Just trying something I just found out . If gmcmotorhome
is at the top under TO. I can REPLY ALL and delete the sender and the
message goes through like this one. But if it is addressed TO GMCNet and I
REPLY ALL and delete sender the message cannot be sent I get MAILER DAEMON.

Hi Bill,

Don't really have any suggestions on this but noticed your post was in the
middle of the list manager changeover and had few replies. Are you still
having a problem or did you figure it out?

Thanks Steve, yea I noticed that. Called Dunn and
they suggested a blocked filter or filter O-ring and
suggested changing the filter. Didn't indicate major
failure mode. This all of a sudden and with engine
cold, I get nervous after Ron's tranny problems.

Well, if that's what it is, the fix is a lot easier than Ron's transmission
problem at least. I hope that's it. Maybe now that the list is back to
normal some other ideas will pop up if that turns out not to be the
problem. Good luck with it!
