I drained my Transmission and Over Drive last night.  It was pretty clear to
me that what ever was leaking was not Hyopoy. I also pulled my Overdrive
filter and cleaned that out. In the base of the filter I thin out side of
the screen I found the end piece of a snap ring.  Bottling up the oil for
disposal, I found another piece ofm snap ring.  This is probabaly not good
news.

The good news sort of is that I found my leak.  I started the car to spin
the tranny and remove the last of the oil, and I found that I have engine
oil leaking out of the base of my oil filter.  I am somewhat perplexed.  I
hust changed the filter and I know I se the o-ring.  I will repeat this
operation and wrestle with that #!@^%ing oil filter housing and try this
again.  I am certain that this was not leaking before and I not sure why it
would start leaking now.
