Where is it leaking? If it's at the output shaft where the driveshaft is inserted, that doesn't require the removal of the transmission. I removed and then just reinstalled my engine/transmission as a unit, and have read that that's the best way to do it. But I've not tried to remove just the...

I had the same concern with my '56 Thunderbird and came up with this hokey mess (see image below). I made this up from my stash of brass fittings, but I'm sure there is a more efficient way to do it. Just haven't been able to find the right fittings in local auto parts stores.

I'm in about the same place with my '56. Keep us posted on your progress so I can learn what's ahead of me.
