transaxle leak

[fahrvergnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

That -would- be THE tool to have, but overkill for the hobbist.  T'was why I

OKAY, I had to call my mentor Don and ask him what it was he used.  He uses
one of these...

This should have more than one use, so it might justify the expense...

HTH,
  David
