Leaking ATF

Post by Elli »

My Caravelle (see signature) has sprung an ATF leak from where the differential meets the engine.
I'm thinking it's an oil seal but I cannot for the life of me find a part number as I don't have Haynes or Bentley, or anything of that sort. :wink:
What part numbers should I be looking at?
Also, what would be wise to do at the same time? Is it a "Engine and transmission out" kind of job, or only transmission?

Sounds like the torque converter seal has failed.
It will probably be in ETKA otherwise off to thesamba.com and use the search.

From what I can see, it is most likely that it is the torque convert seal (003-519-089-D) that is leaking. Can anyone confirm that I have the right part number?
And while I'm at it, what else should I replace?
I have all the time in the world to fix it now, as I went and bought another T25 (1980 Aircooled JX Westfalia pop top) so I wouldn´t have to skip any travelling while the Caravelle is pissing ATF 8)
