Sometimes it pays to be a legend...
 
I decided to cruise around in the AMX today, leaky tranny or no leaky tranny. I stopped by a local parts store where I know the manager, who is named Jeff, and I told him my tale of woe. Welp, it turns out that Jeff's brother in law is now running a local tranny shop, so Jeff got on the phone, and the tranny guy told me to bring it right over. I got there, and the tranny guy said to me, "Didn't you used to work at Kar Parts?" Turns out I knew the guy from way back, and I also knew 2 of the other guys in the shop. Plus they had seen the AMX around at the local cruises/car shows. So, they got me up on the lift, and we poked around a bit. The leak seems to be coming from the dip stick tube. It was kinda late in the day when I got there, so first thing tomorrow I'm gonna head over there, and we are gonna try and put this leak to bed. It will be so nice if I get it all buttoned up w/o having to truck all the way to Dynotech!

This could be something simply like the filler tube leaking, and a $2 tube of RTV to fix.

once again proving that the biggest headaches in hot rodding are almost always caused by the one tiny little thing you never thought to look at.
congrats bob, hope to start seeing the AMX out and about more.
