tranny leak-where is it?

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

This begs the question of what transmission you are talking about. The 020
that I'm familiar with does not have a separate part called a seal carrier.
The seal is held in place by an interference fit to the differential
housing. Both sides are to be driven in flush with the case prior to
inserting the drive flange, concave washer, circlip and cover.
