Okay guys, on my newly purchased TO35, had it running tonight for an hour and while it was running the transmission was leaking out the weep hole and the condition of the oil looked like it was water contaminated and so I pulled the fill plug off and sure enough there was water mixed in with it. I pulled the dipstick out and it was at the low mark and was a nice golden honey color and thick substance (assume old mineral oil).

When I shut it down the leak stopped. I am assuming it is leaking worse because of the water in it??

What is a good oil to put in it incase the seal is still going to leak? Gonna drain the whole thing and replace it all. Does it take 8 gallons?

Thanks
