i recently installed a new motor in my truck and after everything was buttoned back up, i noticed that there is a gigantic tranny fluid leak coming from the dip stick tube where it meets at the transmission. i remember that there was an o-ring where it mates up but there is no telling how old that is. what can i do to fix this leak?
