tko600...There is a decent amount of fluid on the trans bolts after sitting for a few weeks. The leak looks like its from the speedo gear. Does it just need to heat cycle? over filled? need to replace?
Second leak is really weird. Its on the rear end near the pumpkin in what looks like a welded spot? There are 4 of these areas on the rear, but this is the only one that has started to leak.

It looks like the speedometer fitting to the transmission (can't think of the term for it this early in the am) is not capped off. Since you are using the electronic speedo you are leaving the spot for the mechanical speedo cable open. It will leak slowly but not a lot. I plugged mine with silicone. You can also buy a replacement at any parts store that has the end capped off.

I originally wanted to plug it off and use the built in sensor, but that one is on the other side and I did not want to run the wire across the trans.
any comments on the rear.

Is that on the axle tube? It looks like one of the plug welds where the axle tubes are welded in. I can't make any recommendation on what to do about it, but I bet one of these guys knows...
Yes, thats is the axle tube where the plug weld is.
