  • Oil leak from trans

    I jacked my car up today and discovered a small puddle of oil underneath the transmission. I claned up the pussdle set it back down and let it sit for 2 hours, and jacked it up again to find out where the oil is coming from. The oil seems to be leaking from the seal between the transmission and whatever it is that is in front of it. Anyways, does anyone know about this, and nhow can i fix it. For pictures of the LEAK go to http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/488463
    Thanks a bunch for the help.

    i would bet money if you dont have a leak somewhere else seeping down or back, its your rea main seal or oil pan gasket

        is it oil or transmission fluid? trans fluid is reddish. if you are seeing a leak between the engine and trans its likely to be the rear main seal. do a search. its common.

        its expensive to fix. expensive enough that you might try www.auto-rx.com first

          just found the picture. looks like oil not transmission fluid. btw, i have used auto-rx in the past so its i consider it safe even if it doesnt cure your seal leak.

            There is a kit that they sell in AutoZone for finding leaks. You pour the crap in your suspected area and you then use a blacklight to find your problem areas. I saw the kit the other say, sorry I remember it wasn't expensive but I forgot the price tag on it.
