HELP! This truck has been sitting for about two years. No one wanted to touch it, so I got roped into getting it back road worthy and ready for winter plowing. Long story short, I got it running and sent it on its merry way about 35 miles to it rightfull ARNG armory. Two days later when the maint. man went to move it he calls up and tells me the trans is leaking. Come to find out this thing is pumping trans oil out of the dipstick tube. I am going to check the vent line for plugging, but other than that what else could cause thhis issue? Also does anyone know what it would take to install a HMMWV trans into a CUCV? I have an extra HMMWV trans laying on the bench that I think would work if I install the parking pawl out of the CUCV trans.

Replacing the O-ring on the dipstick tube would be the first thing to check.

IF you have a bad seal between you trans and transfer case, you will pump your fluid from the transfer case into your transmission.
That is correct, but usually won't push out the dipstick tube with force. This thing would blow the dipstick out of the tube. I did find the vent line capped. I drove it about 40 miles yesterday without any issues. Hopefully it is good to go for a while, it usually breaks down everytime it gets used.
