I recently had my '72 gone through after sitting for a number of years without being driven. Initially the Tranny had a leak where the dip stick attaches. That fix was a freebie at the local transmission shop.

After driving it a bit more I also had a leak from the tranny itself, because the seals had dried out. I had a guy pull it and replace the seals and take a general look see that otherwise it was ok.

It cost me about $550 but that is a lot cheaper than a complete rebuild.

Both of these leaks produced a fair amount of stain on the garage floor but a very little fluid can produce a disproportionately large stain. No significant loss of fluid when measured by the dip stick.
