AT speedometer cable seal

That's quite a puddle you have there! Move the car to a dry spot and put fresh newspaper under the area. You should be able to figure out where it's dripping from. Maybe some Teflon tape and a good tightening of the speedo cog housing where it screws into the transmission?

Yes I did just add. I think the AT holds 6 qts. I am having it checked out this week. Thanks for the suggestion

Going to do that tomorrow. Hope that will pin point the leak.

So I just did these seals on a manual transmission. The large Oring seal seals the drive body to the transmission case. I'm not sure the little top hat seal would seal anything out. The small square sided seal goes inside the speedometer gear drive body. It seals the speedometer cog shaft. If this seal gets hard or goes bad, liquid leaks up into the cable housing until it finds a way out. Usually a crack in the speedo cable housing. I replaced mine and the floor under the car has stayed dry. I will have to check the fluid levels again soon to make sure it's still full but I believe those two seals are the solution
