After removing the rear axle, I could take a better look at the torque ball assembly.
No sign of any seal and a crack in the bronze bushing.
No wonder it was leaking.

Gents,
I have a leak at the end of the trans. Just behind the torque ball retainer I see the oil spreading out on the underside of the car.
Any ideas and how to solve it?
Patrick
This is some solid advice, I will machine a plug. I was indeed worried that this would create new leaks in the future. Thanks again

Gents,
I just cleaned out the oil pan of my 55 century (322), which was very succesfull. But while cleaning what was left over of the previous gasket, I came across this hole. It is situated...
Gents,
I had my tail light rechromed, the result is insane. BUT................. the thread of the back up lens has had to much chrome. I need to buy a tap to solve this. Now my question of course...

My problem is that I can find fuel...
I would like to know how it would look like if I was to install a roof rack on my 1955 century. Anyone who has foto's?
Hi Jenz,
I speak all these languages but I am Flemish :hurray:and I will post some pics this evening. I will give it one more search and if I do'n find the stamped VIN then I will fix it myself.
Tnx
Hi Jenz,
I am from Belgium. Punching the numbers, is that something you did yourselves or was it done by the official Buick-importer? In Belgium we have only one technical inspection and that is at...
Hi guys,
Here in Europe only the stamped chassis number is a valid one. Problem is that I can not find it on the 1955 4 doors HT. Research tells me to look on the left side frame rail (so the driver...
Hi Ray,
Is it wise to put in another up to date cooler (one I can imagine more efficient)?
Patrick
It does have hoses that are connected to it, they go under and over the gearbox. I can imagine that there are more efficient coolers than this one. But first I will get it secured. Tnx.
Patrick
Thnaks Ray, this is helpfull. Now at least know what to do.
I am waiting for a shop manual but in the meantime I want to solve one problem. I have this "thing" dangling underneath just before the torque tube connection (its the beige-ish flat thing). It hangs...
