Anyone ever had one leak from the front of the tranny. It looks like inbetween the tranny and motor.

I know these cars tend to have a common leak and thought maybe someone else has had this, I was going to drop the tranny to fix it but if I had the seal that is bad first that would be best.

Thanks

Anyone? bump?

 

There is a possibility that what looks like a leak is actually oil that stayed on the skidplate after an oil change and blew back onto the tranny. This happened to me and when I had a new tranny put in the tech said the RMS was fine. Since I've had a new tranny put in I haven't noticed any sign of more oil on the tranny.

Of course if you're noticing new oil dripping down that's a different story, but you could always try scrubbing off the accumulated oil and dirt and seeing if it reappears.

 

This is what I thought and hoped at first but after pulling the skid plate and whipping off what I could it looks like it is coming inbetween the tranny and engine. The worst possible place. I think I need to drop the tranny and see what it is. only thing I can think of is it's a rear main seal type of seal on the tranny.

It's leaking down both ides of the tranny about half way up which leads me to believe it's coming from somewhere else! But it is tranny fluid.

5 speed or Auto?

 

Sorry auto.

 

^^

sent you an email about this and the vibrations...should help

 

If it is in that area, could it also be the rear main seal?
