Are you talking about the hole for the vent?

the only vent i recall on the th350 was up on top behind the bell about half way back :wink: you sure its not the oring on the dip stick tube or the tranny kick down cable? does it leak when it sits or just when its running?

You are correct I was thinking powerglide. The vent for a 350 is on the drivers side at the base of the bell housing. Is there a kick down cable on this transmission, that would be located just below the fittings for the cooler lines?
