1964 Lincoln continental 430BB. Transmission started to leak from my tranny pan and it looked like I needed to change the gasket. I changed gasket and sealed it with silicone, I drove the car for 3days without any problems. On the fourth day I took it out for a long drive and when I got home alot of tranny fluid was leaking once again. Thanks

Your question is? You need to clean it off and find out where the leak is coming from.Did you overfill it before? If so when it got hot it probably spit the fluid out of the vent. Has the trans been resealed or rebuilt? car been in storage? sitting for a long time? seals dry out over time of non-usage, then when you use the car it will begin to leak
