Re: IML: Bars Leak or similar product for 1966 Imperial transmission leak

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

You need to find out what's leaking and fix it right. There are 
transmission cooling lines that run under the engine, one of them could 
be split. Transmission fluid and power steering fluid often look the 
same, so it could be coming from there. Both are highly flammable and 
could ignite on a hot exhaust pipe. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

If you are losing coolant out the side of the engine, it could be a 
cracked block, rotted expansion plug, blown head gasket, or cracked 
cylinder head. Mentioning Bars Stop Leak reminds me more of cooling 
systems than the others mentioned, so I thought I would throw that in.

Subject: IML: Bars Leak or similar product for 1966 Imperial 
transmission leak


I recently acquired a 1966 Imperial and have been having a great time 
with it.  However, I have noticed on two
separate occasions, there appears to be a transmission fluid leak under 
the right side of the engine. I notice
a smell and then steam rising from under the hood. When I open the 
hood, I notice the steam is rising from
under the engine, it appears perhaps the leak is landing on a pipe or 
manifold on the lower part of the right
side of the engine.  I am wondering if a product like Bars Leak would 
be helpful in this situation?  Any info
is appreciated.

Thanks,
CCC
