I've lost a tranny in the past by it not engaging 100% in the forward dedent... ran for 30 minutes and was toast... I've set up pressure sensors now wired into the Holley ECM's to monitor and alarm them.... Marc said the pressure is more important than the temperature!
Sounds like you need to dig into the coolers as something has let go --- oil and water shouldn't be mixing. Good Luck!

Update - As Tom mentioned the possibility of drive failure causing more pressure on the rear seal. Unfortunately turns out that drive is fked. It’s far from turning over freely and doesn’t feel right at all. Very difficult to turn in either direction. So now a drive and tranny in order. The drive is a bigger concern now. Fun fun!!!

Seems to me it's probably the transmission and not the drive. I'd get the drive off to see what it feels like disengaged from the trans. Maybe an issue in the tailstock?

i have a pair of huber 1550s that have been mothballed for 10 years we are now restoring the boat and i,m thinking new tranny seals are good preventative thing to do or should i not open them up they look good no rubber checking
