reduced oil pressure and in turn partial
engagement o f the affected dutches. Partial
engagement o f the clutches with sufficient
pressure to cause apparent normal operation of
the vehicle will result in failure o f the clutches
or other internal parts after only a few miles of
operation.

Before attem pting to correct an oil leak, the actual
source o f the leak must be determined. In m an y cases,
the source o f the leak can be deceiving due to "w ind
flow" around the engine and transmission.
The suspected area should be wiped clean o f all oil
before inspecting for the source o f the leak. Red dye is
used in the transmission oil at the assembly plant and
will indicate if the oil leak is from the transmission.
