Re: TH 400 Torque Converter Drain Back Solutions?

I would bet good money you have a bad o ring on your dipstick - I went thru this same issue with my T350 - the cure was a Milodon milled AL x SST flexbraid dipstick tube
The can keep the tolerences so much tighter on the milled al vs the stamped steel
