it could be couple of things depending on where its leaking from also when u change a Transmission Fluid u r suppose 2 change the gasket and the filter if u didn't that might be ur problem but if u did then check the following 1) the bolts might be loose but dont tightened it too much 2) the transmission might be overfilled 3) the surface of the transmission pan might have been damaged 4) if u used a sealant to make a gasket make sure its the correct sealant..........and like i said it all depends on where its leaking from

What is the yellowish fluid leaking from the rear of a 2004 Corvette?

Hello In the 2004 Corvettes the Transmission has been moved from the back of the engine to the rear so now the transmission and pumpkin are bolted together. You could have a transmission leak or a brake fluid leak. If the leak is in the center then I would go with a trany leak if leak is near either tire go with a brake fluid leak. Hope this helps


1999 fx2 transmission leak now it won't go?

The reason your 1999 transmission will not go is the fluid is too low. Apparently enough fluid leaked out of your transmission so it will not operate.


My transmission fluid ran dry and now the vehicle won't move when in gear Is there a way to lubricate the transmission again?

Fix the leak then refill the transmission. You may have done some damage to the transmission however it may still work. It most likely was not dry. If the fluid is to low the transmission stops working. You did say transmission fluid not oil so I take it that it is an automitic transmission.


How long can you go once slow leak develops before replacing transmission pan gasket?

That is a scary situation. The best, and cheapest, thing you can do is immediately replace the gasket. You can keep driving it with a slow leak, but you will have to keep putting transmission fluid in it. Which will cost you more in the long run. If you replace that gasket now, You won't have to worry about constantly re-filling the transmission fluid.


Where is the automatic transmission drain plug for a 2003 Cadillac CTS Fluid is leaking out and the transmission slips now and it wasn't before the leak?

There is no automatic transmission drain plug. To drain the fluid you have to drop the pan. Be sure to replace the filter at the same time, it is located under the pan.


You did some work on your drive shaft on a 99 venture now the transmission fluid has leaked everywhere what happened?

A bad you joint or a unbalanced driveshaft can cause the transmission rear main seal to leak. You will need to replace the transmission seal.


Did Oil Change and now the vehicle will not go into reverse or drive oil when changed came out red can you help?

I am curious to know which oil you changed. Usually when one says oil change, they are referring to the engine oil. When referring to a transmission, one usually says they are doing a transmission fluid change. You mention the oil came out red. Red is the color of transmission fluid. I'm wondering if you drained the transmission fluid thinking you were draining the engine oil. If so, the transmission is empty and that would be the reason for no reverse or drive gears.


What do you do if your car has never had the transmission fluid changed and now it is leaking will it hurt if you add new fluid in the transmission?

it'll hurt it if you don't add fluid! Add fluid as recommended in our manual ( checking level after driving, running in Park). See a mechanic. Most leaks are not catastrophic, many times just a cooling line,etc.


Is their a drain plug for the transmission on a 2007 Chevy impala?

Newer Impalas are to have there transmission flushed and not fluid drained and filter changed. The filter is now a screen and is cleaned by flush. See your dealer or TRUSTED shop for service.


I changed the transmission fluid in my 94 ford explorer now won't start What could be the problem?

What could be the cause of an automatic transmission fluid leak in a 1993 Mazda 323?

There are several possible causes of a automatic transmission fluid leak in a 1993 Mazda 323. One of the more common causes is the transmission front pump seal. If it has never been changed, it's about the age now where the seal has worn, shrunk, and lost it's sealing capacity to keep fluid in the transmission. The transmission front pump seal in this particular vehicle is unique in that is is a relatively large seal (almost looks like an engine rear main seal). Another possibility is the CV drive axle seal. There are two of those, one on each side (left and right) of the transaxle (transmission). Similar to the front pump seal, the drive axle seals also deteriorate over time, allowing fluid to seep out. Finally, there's the automatic transmission pan gasket. Although this gasket usually doesn't spontaneously develop a leak, it's a possibility if the gasket was replaced recently and perhaps a bolt or two were overtightened, causing the gasket to crack.
