Dripping Overdrive

Hi Folks,
Now that the electrical gremlins are at this time locked up I'm trying to reduce the amount of leaks, on the OD unit the speedometer connection drips pretty good, I know there's a seal or O ring in there any clues as to what size it is? The other drip seems to come from the solenoid cover, I'm not sure if that's just where it gathers before dripping or what, when I wipe it dry it looks like it's coming from there but I don't know why there would be oil in there.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Hey Tom
I see that your post has had a lot of views but no replies.
Hope this helps:
There is a guy on the MGB forum by the name of Dick Moritz. He is out of Pennsylvania and is the “go to guy” for all things overdrive. He is a very generous man with time and information. Not sure what he can or will do for you, but he would be my first stop if I were assessing overdrive issues.
Good luck
Andrew
 
Thank you for the lead, with all the folks using this forum I thought there would be at least a few ideas. I ordered a gasket and O ring kit from SS hoping it'll have the seals I need. I'll continue with this thread when the parts arrive.

I can't really say, it came from the Tipp City area and was installed there when I traded a non syncro set up for the proper Series V . It seems to be working fine, just came from a 600+ mile road trip. Although I check the level before any long distance travel and add 30 ND as needed.

Where in the wide,wide world of sports would I find a rebuilder ?

Well, I learned how to rebuild two of my OD units, but there are no parts here in the States. I had get new parts from the UK, except O-rings & gaskets and needle bearings and so on that I can get here.
