If it's leaking Transmission Fluid, could be a bad pump seal. If it's leaking engine oil, could be a bad oil filter, leaking valve cover gasket, leaking intake manifold gasket, leaking oil pressure sender, leaking distributor gasket.

What does it mean when the transmission fluid is running hot?

There are a few things that can cause this. First, plugged cooler lines from the transmission to the cooler, which usually is built into the radiator, or mounted in front of it. Second, plugged transmission cooler. Third, plugged filter in the transmission. Fourth, overloading the transmission. Fifth, if the cooler is in the radiator tank, and the engine is running too hot, it will also prevent it from cooling the transmission.

Where is the transmission filter on a 2004 Hyundai sonata 2.4l it is not on the verticle pan on the front of the engine. any other places?

Do you have to take the oil pan off to get to the oil filter?

NO!If you are talking about the Engine Oil Filter, then the answer is NO! You will find it screwed on to the block somewhere on the engine. If you are talking about the Transmission Fluid Filter, the answer in most cases is Yes. Most transmission filters are located inside the transmission and access is gained by removing the pan. But on some like Honda, the filter can only be accessed by disassembling the transmission. These are considered a lifetime filter. Answerno Answer:The Engine Oil filter can also be extended and mounted on the firewall or wheelwell.

How many quarts of transmission fluid are needed when changing fluid in a 1990 Oldsmobile calais 2.5 engine?

My 86 2.5 only holds 3 quarts with a filter. The filter is mounted upside down so to prevent the oil from running all over the engine I puncture the bottom of the filter so the oil drains to the pan and out. The best way to be certain is to check the manual. You could fill one quart less than stated, run the engine enough to fill the new filter (~60 seconds) then stop and check the level on the dipstick. Add as needed.
