This is a automatic transmission with the convertor housing that has oil in it and uses a sealed Delco starter. The trans and hydraulic use the same oil. How high should the oil level be in there? The starter develops a leak because the oil level is above where the starter mounts. When you pull the starter off about 3 quarts pour out. I know the starter is sealed but I don't think the oil level should be way up above the mounting hole, which is low on the bell housing. I don't think the Delco sealed starter were intended to seal like that, just to seal splashing oil that is at a level lower than the mount point. I don't see any sump suction hose on the bottom of the housing. Any ideas on this? Thanks.
