Got home from a cruise in and had a significant transmission leak under the car. Crawled under and its coming from inside the bell housing and leaking out of the inspection plate area. There has been a small oil leak before this and couldn't visually see it, but it appeared the oil was coming out of the inspection plate area. Transmission fluid is on my exhaust pipes so it looks like it leaking during operation.
Background: 351 Clev, 2V, FMX automatic. Just finished restoring the car so It hasn't been driven much since putting the engine and transmission back in around a year ago. Probably maybe have 100 miles on it due to the restoration. While we had it out we put in new rear main seals (replaced all seals), put in new fly wheel and torque converter.
Give me the bad news!
Frustrating as the car looks great and I'm dying to cruise in it and now this setback.
