I'm still trying to diagnose a small transmission leak from the drivers side cv. I've replaced the CV joint for the 2nd time and it's still leaking, but not as much as before.
Larry, I know you mentioned that the carrier bearing might be shot. My transmission guy said it's solid and he didn't find any slop. I changed the timing chain this summer and was wondering if it is possible the engine is not centered anymore and the cv is not seated all the way in the trans. I intend to check the cv length, it should be between 7.2 and 7.6 inches. I'm going to check it and then take it back to the trans. guy to see if he can see anything else. Had it back a number of times and he didn't see anything. Even mic'd the old cv against the new and didn't find any variations in the circumference. Still trying to determine what's causing it to leak. No noise from the cv and all the hoses etc. are fine. Any additional things to check out is appreciated.
thanks, Nick
