I'm back home in Pennsylvania and after the camper has been sitting for a week, I have a leak again. I'm thinking of putting one of those duraprene gaskets on, but I am worried that my pan may be warped. Anyone know the part number for the pan? I would hate to put another gasket on and have it still leaking. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the info and advice. I just got back from the mechanic and they got a new gasket and filter in there. It was just a rubber filter like the one that came out, but it is fixed. I sat and watched him do the whole job. I definitely could have done it myself, but it would have been a PITA at the campground. He charged me $130 for the job and the parts, I didn't think that was too bad. Here in coastal Maine, things move pretty slow, so I was grateful to have the job done on short notice. Now I can kick back and relax a bit until the drive home. Hopefully I won't have another post on this topic.

I check out this forum a good bit for advice on our camper, this is my first post. We have a 1986 Toyota Shasta. Just bought it about 3 months ago with just over 58,000 miles on it. We took it on a few 2 hour trips that were to western Maryland and western Pennsylvania. It threw a belt to the coolant pump and overheated on one trip. We were able to get a belt and replace it in a parking lot. Since then, I replaced all the belts and it has been driving fine. I am now in Boothbay Harbor Maine. It was about a 600 mile trip up to here. The camper drove fine. However, I noticed a small leak on the transmission pan around the seal. It was not enough of a leak to drip on the ground, but still a leak. I first checked all the bolts and the bolts around the leak were a bit loose. I tightened them down and took it for a drive. It is not really leaking anymore, but after the drive, I wiped around the seal with a paper towel and had a tiny bit of fluid. I am guessing the gasket needs replaced. Does anybody know how many hours I should expect a mechanic to be able to do this job? I can't think it is a hard job, I have the Haynes Manual for this truck and it doesn't look that hard, just a bit too much to do at a campground. Any advice would be great. - Aaron
