If oil leaks from the torque converter seal, the seal must be replaced. To do this, remove the transmission from the engine.
Remove the torque converter from the housing without tilting it. Wring out an epiploon as it is shown in fig. K:13. Make sure the oil seal seat is clean and lubricate the surface of the seat and new oil seal with clean ATF automatic transmission oil (Do not use regular engine oil).
Press the new oil seal into the socket until it stops (pic. K:14). Be careful as the stuffing box is made of a very soft material and can be easily damaged.
Install torque converter to transmission (see above).
