Subject:85 Shifting fix but "?" about leak...

Anyone?

The archives presented a wonderful informational article about pulling
the tranny to replace a bad pilot bearing. Turns out when I pulled my
tranny, the clutch itself was the cause of the problems I was having.as
it fell apart as I removed it from the vehicle.as a side note, I am
still having to adjust the linkage a bit, but man, what a difference.

In any case.at one point in time during my reinstall of the tranny, it
leaned hard to the left (driver side) and forward (front of vehicle) off
of the jack.and as it did, fluid started leaking out of one of the
bolts.

My assumption was that this is not a high pressure system and that since
the bolt is at the TOP of the tranny normally that fluid doesn't even go
there (gravity) and that its not a hard and fast seal.

It doesn't appear to be leaking after a reinstall (and about 100 miles
of driving).just wanted to make sure this seemed normal.
