I just finished up (well, I still need to replace the front shaft seal) the tranny and finals on an old BN that was leaking from every place conceivable. In some cases it had the old leather seals that had just worn/dried out. BUT when I went to drain the tranny, I didn't get anything either. You'll probably find that it's too thick to flow and clogging the drain. A loop of baling wire did the trick. The first gallon or more (it's a 5-1/2 qt capacity) ran like cold molasses. I basically had to fish it out. The next 2-1/2 gallon (we're talking severely overfilled, here) ran better but I still had to fish out the clumps. Short of opening up the tranny for a good cleaning, you might try draining what you can, then dumping a quart of kerosene and taking a brief spin. Redrain and refill to specs with good oil. If you're lucky, the seals will close up. In my experience, though, once a seal starts letting oil by, it never seals back up right. But taking care of the over filling ought to at least reduce your leak. My nickel's worth. Good luck! Scotty
