Leakage From Torque Converter Housing
12. Leaks from the torque converter housing can originate from several locations. The paths which the transmission fluid takes to reach the bottom of the torque converter housing is shown in the illustration. The following 6 steps correspond with the numbers in the illustration.
1. Transmission fluid leaking by the converter hub seal lip will tend to move along the drive hub and onto the back of the torque converter. Except in the case of a total seal failure, transmission fluid leakage by the lip of the seal will be deposited on the inside of the torque converter housing only, near the outside diameter of the housing.
