z71 tranny trouble

[race7k]

I have a 1993 z71 4x4 I just bought about a month ago
I used it the other day to tow a trailer and the frount seal went out of the tranny
well with 15000 miles on it it was probaly due to go I put a new seal in drove it about a week (no towing)
comming home tonight it started blowing fluid out the seal again not little drips but 3 quarts I refilled tranny and drove it to see if it would still do it and no leeks????
any ideas???

did you check the bushing right behind that seal? its possible that it has spun and is contacting the seal or the bushing could just be worn out.

99% sure it will be that bushing i used to work at a tranny shop common problem with these...
