93 240 sedan. We swapped motor/trans. Everything when great and then I parked car in storage. Few months later, I see a puddle of trans fluid. I finally got around to cleaning the mess and seeing where the leak was coming from. Picture below

What is the obvious solution here? Could I use jb weld? Never experienced this kinda leak.

Can't see any fluid (or arrows) that point to exactly where you see the leak.

If it's between the steel base and the aluminum trans case, there's 2 O-rings in there.
Small - 1239834
Large - 1239835

If it's the solenoid itself, like where the wire comes out, or where the main body meets the mounting flange, you'd need a new solenoid (or a "bypass plate" kit).

The transmission is clean. It was a slow steady leak but i wiped it down. Obvious it was coming from one point. I just removed solenoid and it looks we forgot to change the o rings. I'm glad it's an easy fix.
