Re: 1985 Caprice leaks at speedometer cable
I had to replace my spedo cable a while back for my '85 Caprice, but there was no fluid in it and if I remember right it had graphite in it for lubrication -- perhaps this isn't normal either? I'm not a mechanic and wish I could be more help; if I were to guess I would guess that something is wrong with the transmission and that tranny fluid is leaking into the cable...
What does the fluid look like or smell like? Is it a dark brown or red? More details would help; also when did the problem start? Does the transmission have any known issues?
