95Transmission leaking from where line goes in the back of trans

[carrzkiss]

Hello all.

My 83 Ranger has a 95 motor and transmission.

The clutch started leaking about a month after my son died, so around November 2023. Depending on how often I drive, I have had to put fluid in the reservoir at least twice a week.

While getting ready to drop the trans to replace the slave cylinder, I noticed the leak was coming from the line going into the back of the transmission.

Does this mean that the line needs to be replaced, and possibly the part it is connected to?
If so, do I have to drop the trans, or can I access it without dropping the trans?

Here is a picture of it.

Here is a video I made of it.

Let me know what you think

OK, I just found out from a mechanic friend I sent this video to that it is the speedometer cable I see in this video. And that the slave cylinder needs replacing.
So, that is what I will be doing.

From here?

Probably just needs a new O-Ring

A new O-rig for there and a slave cylinder inside.
I am going to do the slave cylinder tomorrow and will check on the O-rig replacement as well since I have to remove the cable in order to drop the trans.
