HELP! Leaking tranny fluid from where tranny meets driveshaft?

[caligts]

Hey guy's...I somewhat of a longtime listener but first time caller.....If you know what I mean. Anyway, I'm having a tranny fluid leaking prob on my 95' Yukon 2WD.

Only when my yukon is parked in the driveway at a slant I come out in the morning to a nice puddle of tranny fluid? Looking underneath the fluid appears to come from where the end of the tranny meets the driveshaft?

When my truck is parked in the street or parking lot on a level surface its dry as a bone? I'm confused?

Any help or ideas are appreciated>

Sounds like the rear seal needs replacing. If it still leaks after replacing rear seal, replace the yoke also.

Ya, sounds like a rear seal which is typicaly easy to replace. Just drop the drive shaft...make sure you don't pop off one of those U-joint caps on the end near the diff. Then I'm not sure about the gear box since I haven't worked on a Chevy in years. Typicaly you can pull the rear tail shaft off by unscrewing 4 bolts and the speedo cable. Then you hammer the seal out with a screw driver and reinstall a new seal. You will probaly loose just enough fluid to make a small mess but nothing more. I would check the fluid afterwards.

Thanks for the input fella's. I'm going to look into replacing the seal this weekend when I have time. I'll be sure to post my results
