little trails of ATF


Recommended Posts

i think its ATF, short story is when the car isnt quite warmed up it leaves little trails behind. i still need to do the valve cover but i dont think it would leave little trails like that.

 

the transmission is getting low on ATF every now and again, takes about 3k miles before any noticable level change but i cant find where its leaking any atf.

 

the PCV system is cleared and workin right including that one vent line that goes to the top of the transmission, are there other vents though? i thought there were.

 

ideas?

oh one time it burped a bit of atf in the driveway but we again still could not find where it came from

Maybe comming out of the rear driveshaft seal? Those aren't an uncommon leak point and they are easily replaced. Only get those from the dealer as I've had friends that replaced them with NAPA seals only to have them leak again in a week or two.

 

Thinking maybe the ATF is sloshing rearward when you take off causing it to run out of the rear output...... just a guess.
