Is it common for...

...transmission fluid to come out of the speedo connection after topping off the transmission fluid?

Thanks

No..

You can still buy the inner seal and outer O-ring from Nissan.

Inner Seal = 32709-14600

Outer O-Ring = 32710-14600

Do you mean at the speedometer or at the transmission?  there are a couple of o-rings n the ned of the cable sheath.  I think that CO has posted on fixing that problem.  People have reported fluid all the way up the speedometer.  Not sure how that happens.

I replaced mine just a couple months ago.  Common?  No.  Eventual? Yes.

I thought a bee stung me as I drove my 240 on a hot day. No bee, just gear oil that dripped on my ankle from the rag the PO had pushed up into the dash.

The speedo cable turns, oil climbs up the cable, leaking O-rings and presto you have gear oil on your leg.

Thank you Chickenman.  I'll get those and replace.

$5 for both. I at first thought it was the slave cylinder hose leaking. New crush washers were my next move then I'd have to bleed that again, PITA.

I put a empty (of course) beer case box under there a couple of days ago and saw it was coming off the speedo cable.

Thanks guys, you've saved me again. 8^)
