350 turbo help

[mesmydo]

I put a rebuilt 350 turbo in my 62 nova over the winter and every so often ,it will puke out a bunch of fluid from a hole next to the dipstick. Is that hole some kind of pressure release and how can I adjust or fix the problem? The last time it did it, I hadn't even touched the car for a week and one day it just decides to puke fluid. Any help or info is greatly appreciated.

If you are talking about the 1/8" pipe plug that is between the kickdown cable and the fill tube, it should not leak. I would take the plug out clean it well, check for cracks around the threaded hole, put a small amount of sealer on the pipe plug and re-install the plug. If there is a electronic switch in this port, remove it and throw it away and install a 1/8" pipe plug. Are you sure that it is not leaking around the fill tube or kickdown cable? Transmissions are common about leaking after setting for awhile if a seal is bad. The converter drains back, overfills the pan and it finds any place that it can to leak. I would recommend to replace both the o-rings or grommets on the fill tube and kickdown cable. I hope this helps. If you need more information, just send me an e-mail.
