transmision fluid leaking

[mkiiisupraowner]

hi all been a while. i have a transmision oil fluid leak on the surf its gen 3. looks like the pipe has split its at the lowest point where it comes out of the sump and upwards, i take it to the dip stick . i,ve put my fingers around both the part thats comes out of the sump and above the leak upto the dipstick. and its dry. can this pipe / tube be replaced if so anyone know where from. and will i need a new gasket that fits around the pipe? thanks in advance.

See Andyverran parts for sale. 2.4 might be same pipe.

Hi John, the ATF dipstick tube is in 2 parts, the top can be replaced easily but as your referring to the lower half connected to the Sump, a new sump will be needed ... unless ya fabricate sommat, solder the culprit or make a temporary repair with rubber hose n clips
F.Y.I.
3 gen sumps n 2nd gen sumps are different .. Robert

bummer, saw the rubber grommit / gasket hoped you could just replace the pipe.

i can see now its not a gasket, its welded fitting or similer, hmmm

Brazing it looks the best solution then John ....
Good Luck

hopefully looks like the chemical metal paste has done the trick, have to see how long it lasts.

That's good news, will be interesting to see what it's life is...
