Different 'glide problem, leak.
I got it all back together, had it running and warming up to verify fluid level, and noticed fluid on the floor around the output shaft.
It looks like it is coming out of the center of the yoke, it is not on the tailshaft housing but seems to be dripping out of the u-joint area.
I did some research and the possibilities are overfull, (about 8qts in it, full mark on dipstick) an O-ring inside the yoke??, or blockage in drain hole in tailshaft.
I am going to re-configure the trans vent because the dipstick tube contacts it and may be part of the problem.
Any other things I need to inspect?
Onca again, thank you for all your assistance and experience.

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me glides aren't suppose to leak? SOB.

I have leak at fronmt pan rails I can not stop. I think cooler mounted above dtains back and over fills pan, noit that is should leak anyway. I and made a trap so line is above cooler, No help. I have checked rail with file for flatness and tried different gaskets. Finally said screw it it is slow leak very slow. I just drain pan ands pour into jug, qwhen rerady to go to track dump back in. IOt is what it is for while.

I figured like Panhead and Shovel head, if not leaking better check it,[prpobably low or out.

If it was just seeping or dripping, I wouldn't be concerned, but it had about a 4" puddle after 5 minutes or so. I don't want to be that guy at the line that oils down the track.
I'll pull the yoke, maybe verify the drain back inside the tailshaft is clear, drain a quart out, warm up and re-check it.
I did move the fill tube away from the vent but I think I'm still going to run a hose up to a catch can.

Thanks.
