There are no seals unless someone installed "sealed" main bearings and they only slow down the leaks.

There are some "kits" that seal the main shaft and reverse idler shaft ends from leaking at rear of transmission ... that Vendors carry.

Try cleaning out the vent hole in transmission tower!

If pressure builds up it can force oil out of the transmission.

Use dental pick type tool and a vacuum cleaner (take your time) to keep the dirt from falling into the transmission.

Hole is about 3/32ths ...

You might have to remove floorboard to find the hole ... I do not remember the exact location.

I am currently running 30w but it is detergent, so keep me posted on the outcome, as it just doesn't seem wise to argue with Mr. Benson. :D

Sorry for confusion ... I should have explained my Avatar .... :eek:

It is just my warped sense of humor!!

Good info! If you don't want to blame the missing sock on the washing machine, you can drill a few holes in the red cap from a WD40 can as shown in the pic (I hope it came through). This one's been on my coupe for over 20 years and does the job quite well.
