I have had a tranny fluid leak for a while and finally got under there and cleaned everything up last night so I could watch it.
This morning (Cruiser was not run and did not move) the leak was back and seems to be concentrated at one of the skid plate mounts. I beleive that it is possible that the welds where the tabs hold the captive nuts for the skid plate may be cracked and in turn - cracked the pan...
Short of removing the pan and having it welded or brazed, what can I do? Will RTV smeared across the area hold it temporarily? Should I grind the paint away and put some JB Weld on it (also good for attaching sliders, I've heard )
Any thoughts or should I just suck it up and drop the pan?
