I have a 98 tacoma with the automatic and the 4 banger. Its a 2 wheel drive and it is absolutly perfect for hauling around my dirt bike. I love this little thing but it has been creating a mess every where I go lately. Anyway I just drained the tranny fluid and replaced it with 2.5 quarts as stated in the manual. It runs just fine but now it leaks tranny fluid at a rate of a few drops an hour!! It is not coming from the drain plug, it seems to be coming from one of the lines that goes to the radiator but its all wet so I cant tell.

THEN just today I noticed that it started pissing out oil!!! Again I checked the drain plug and the filter and both were tighter than a birds ass! WHat the hell is going on here? This one I think is coming from a sensor that is just next to the oil filter and just below the exhaust manifold. What is that sensor and can it leak oil? I dont know if anyone can actually help me with this because I havent given enough info to actually get a diagnosis but I just felt like bitchin! Thanks, Andy

Is it transmission fluid or engine oil that is leaking?

If it is engine oil, make sure the filter is not double gasketed.

Now it is both! First it was a slow leak of tranny fluid and now its oil and tranny fluid.
