The boat has been sitting for three days on its trailer and the fluid level is correct.
The pump has been removed and tomorrow a used pump will be installed to test the tranny and see if the issue is really the pump.
I was lucky that the mechanic had a used pump to install (before buying a new one).
Should it be the pump I will be back in the water in a couple of days, otherwise, in case the tranny needs a rebuild, August will be gone.
The leak is from the lower side of the tranny, opposite the identification plate of the tranny.
The fluid level was checked at operating temperature and when the tranny was opened there was no bad smell, and no smoke at all when the tranny had problems while in the water
