This has to be one of the heaviest nights of my life, which probably means I've had a pretty cushy life... but still the pain is visceral. Changed the tranny fluid on my 2003 sprinter with 200k yesterday and 400 miles into a 1400 miles trip it looks like that produced major leaks in my output (correction, input**) shaft seal. The leak is coming from the two rubber plugs below the torque converter, I checked the torque converter drain and it really does not appear to be coming from it, also it is coming faster than I would imagine a leak around the washer could. I ended up getting ahold of the local sprinter mechanic and he told me from the description i almost definitely damaged the seal. Besides being stranded i'm in shock. I guess I'm just looking for consoling words or advice. Im stranded new Benton Illinois if anyone with knowledge wants to take a look for me. Other wise I'm just gonna try and keep feeding her fluid until i make it home. I sure hope this isn't it for me and this forum, you guys of been beyond helpful and patient with the 70 questions I've asked over the last two months. Can't tell you all how much I appreciate it. If anybody's got extra send some good juju my way, I'm gonna need it.
