3 possible areas, Most likely the torque converter seal located on the pump, I have seen a torque converter have a small crack and only leak under extreme conditions and last but not least the front pump bolts not torqued correctly.
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : No , only the automatic transaxle ( transmission ) has a dipstick
The question is if the transmission is a standard or an automatic, if it is a standard then the transmission is located directly behind the bell housing which is bolted onto the rear of the engine, if it is an automatic then the transmission is bolted directly to the rear of the engine
if your 94 cougar has the 4.6 v8 u can only use the trans from a 94 or 95 cougar or thunderbird with the 4.6 v8
one
On the bottom of the transmission.
The starter is located on the front side of the transmission in this model of the Mercury Cougar. If you need to work on it make sure the transmission is cold so as you do not burn yourself.
Mercon V
a 95 mercuy cougar takes anywhere from 5 to 7 quarts of transmission fluid
It is leaking. Have a complete fluid and filter change. Replace the pan gasket.
I have a 1996 Cougar XR7 that was leaking, and it turned out it was the intake manifold. Was leaking in front of the passenger side on the back. New one was 480.00. Dang car has always had a leak somewhere since it was bought new.
