My 71 Cutlass started to leak Trans Fluid from the accumulator cover.
Can anyone guide me thru the repair. I need to know what parts are required for the repair as well as what tools will be needed.And the difficulty of said repair. Thanks

Pretty easy if there is enough room down there. My 78 Buick th350 started leaking out of the same cover, and it turns out to be a simple O-ring. From what I remember you simply use a drift pin thru the bottom of the accumulator boss and get the round retaining clip out. The cover will then pop out and the O-ring will be there. Replace it and reinstall cover and retaining clip.
