Seems like all I did this weekend was work and sleep. I have made a decision on what to do with the transmission issue.
I am going to attempt to remove the transmission on my own. If I am successfull I will then determine where the leak is. Hopefully I will be able to replace the front seal myself. If not it will be off to the transmission shop for the work. Since I have to take a lot of crap off of the car just to get the transmission out, I plan on also replacing the O2 sensor, replacing the guibo, and also repair the exhaust system.
When I get enough guts up to start this project I will be sure to post pictures.
We have pinewood derby this week so I will post a few pics of that and any pictures of the car as I take it apart.
Have a good night,
Darren

A Happy New Year!
The holiday season was good to me. I got some goodies for the Scorpio and I have a lot of plans to work on the Scorpio.
Crossing my fingers I think the radiator might be okay. It turns out the leak I saw was coming from a loose hose clamp on the top radiator hose. I tightened it up and so far so good.
The bad news is the front seal on the transmission is definitely leaking. This transmission is notorious for this and now I have to debate on whether to just replace the seal, or take out the transmission and rebuild it. It is working fine, so that makes the decision a little harder. I will keep you posted when I figure it out.
I will post an update later this weekend when I get some work done on the car.
Later,
Darren
