Best Answer

Auto transmissions operate on pump pressure. The pump turns when the engine is running. This is why it leaks only when running.

Where is transmission fluid dipstick to add transmission fluid to 2005 Chevy Malibu?

There should be two dipsticks under the hood on a Malibu. One will be plainly marked "OIL" or "ENGINE OIL." The other one is your transmission fluid. This is assuming your Malibu has automatic transmission. If your Malibu has a manual transmission (stick shift), then there is no dipstick for transmission fluid -- manual trannies get lubrication from the engine oil.
