727 Leak Inside Bellhousing

Another observation. The balloon side of the converter was dry. The inside of the bell was wet. This leads me to believe, the plug was indeed leaking, the ring gear blew the ATF around due to fanning effect. The dripping was just until all the ATF that accumulated in the bell leaked out. Also, the fanning of the converter/ring gear, could draw a vacuum on the plug???? I have seen this time of effect on outboard marine engines where the flywheel can pull an oil leak from a lower location up to the top and give the appearance of a different source of the leak. Just thinking here....
