I've heard of exactly that happening. But never seen it.
Maybe try some really thick stuff.
What are you using now? If it's Red Line, it probably doesn't belong in a tranny with weak seals - that stuff will find all the weak spots!
: : Is there an vapor vent on a five speed transmission? If so, do they become clogged? If so would it force oil past worn reaer tranny seals? If so could I reduce the intensity of this leak (and noxious smoking)by clearing the blockage until I can replace the seals?
: Yes. It's on top of the tranmission. Removal of the transmission is required to get anywhere near it. I don't see how it could get clogged, but I suppose it's possible.
