Any chance that 72c trans leaking from the front can seal itself? Asking for a friend.

F'ing boats.

Has been one of those weeks.

Big chance. Normally it's not the seal itself that goes bad. The pump goes bad and develops pressure behind the seal and pushes the seal out.
Of course anything is possible.

Thinking it was low on fluid and overheated. Didn’t get an alarm but that doesn’t mean anything. I might try to put some fluid in it and see if it attempts to hold. Long shot.

Has been a week…

- Have been ill from a bad oyster(s) for over a week.

- A bicycle moved to the wrong spot in the garage fell on my AMG and who knows what that’ll cost to fix.

- The transmission puked.

- Work issues.

Banner week.
