Well the car finally runs and I got her on the lift today. I found out that the transmission leaks and the PO caulked the bottom of the transmission.

What is causing this leak? ie what do I need to do when I drop the transmission?

Second question. The LSD diff is whining. The PO gave me another LSD diff that he swapped out because it was whining. Do you guys think it is the gears that are whining or maybe bearings? Or maybe something else? Are they worth rebuilding or should I just buy another one.

Thanks,
Joel
