904 Leaking. What to check first?
Well, upon further research on this sight Ive come to learn much about the offices and common leak points on the 904. Before I disassembled anything, I decided to take a culmination of y’alls advice.
I filled the tranny to full line with it hot after driving an hour around town to make sure it’s at capacity.
I then cleaned the tranny as best I could.
Let it all dry.
I placed thin tissue paper around every possible leak area. I let the car sit 48 hours.
The leak is solely and certainly coming from the shift shaft. Not the pan! So I just ordered the tool and seal and will have at it this or next weekend. Planning on leaving the tranny in the car and the pan on and having a go with it with some patience, clamps, pry bar.

Thank you all.
