This is what you get when you let a car sit,Bob.Cars were meant to be DRIVEN,as opposed to being ornaments.
I have 10 vehicles. I'd have to hire a staff of drivers!

There was a trick to the old PG converter drain problem that depended on how it was shut down,
I haven't been able to find the reference I was thinking of but as I remember it was to shut down in neutral. What I don't remember is how that prevented the converter from draining back. Maybe it was an old wives tale.Cecil: Do you recall what that "trick" was?
Thank you all for your suggestions. Everything on the trans is tight and dry except for the edges of the pan gasket and the shifter shaft. No dampness anywhere else. I purchased the shifter shaft seal removal/installation tool and a new seal and will replace it next time I get it up in the air.
Tom: I took 2 months away from the roadster to get the coupe back on the road for the local "Key to the Hills" rod run, plus take care of a number of house chores that had accumulated. There are still some open items on the coupe that need to be resolved (the original 1934 rear springs have sagged 2+ inches over the 22 years of sitting and need to be replaced, etc.), but I hope to drop the 348/700R4 into the roadster chassis next week to start mocking up the mounts, check clearances, etc. I'll keep you-all updated.
Thanks for your suggestions everyone.

None of my transmissions leaked Bob, they just need another pedal to cure the problem.I'll have to check that link out later. We really need to do something about this problem!
