Figure 12 - Front Pump Seal
Transmission fluid leaks at the front pump seal in vehicles equipped with an AOD transmission built prior to October 1, 1985 may be caused by a
variation in location of the fluid drainback hole at the pump allowing fluid to leak around the seal. If the drainback hole bridges across the outer edge of
the pump seal, the seal may collapse in the hole causing a leak past the outside diameter of the seal (Figure 12).
