Can't find transmission leak (part deux)

    Follow up, 1985 245 with tranny fluid leaking after overfill, then
    very minor leak afterwards.

    I pulled off the speedo gear from the rear of the tranny and found a
    partially broken sprocket, a bad main O-ring and deteriorated thread
    tape (if any).

    I have a photo, I hope this will be the source of my leak.

    Question:
    At the base of the sprocket - does an o-ring go there? I see where
    there is 1 main o-ring around the middle of the sensor body, 1 rubber
    cap that fits into the tube going to the speedo? Did I miss any? How
    many total?

    THanks!

    I went to the mechanic shop for an O-ring and the guy thinks it isn't
    the O-ring, but the cap that seals inside of the housing where the
    speedo cable screws in. He says it got hard. So I used some form-a-
    gasket to see if I can assist the seal until I replace the part.

    Looking at IPD (I can't find it at FCP), it seems to be called a
    Speedo Cable Drive Seal. $2.50. I think I'll get an O-ring to boot and
    see what happens.
