I crawled under the car to check some things out. The major concern was the oil piddles on the ground.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i237.photobucket.com-17475-1403417122.1.jpg) The engine was mostly dry and the transmission was wet. But that could just mean it was coming back from the engine so after taking the picture I went to cleaning. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i237.photobucket.com-17475-1403417122.2.jpg) The right bank of engine had some oil on it. Are transmission leaks common? Maybe the pushrod tubes are leaking? |

i had the same issue years ago; here is a pic of my leak. It was the rear main seal. touch and smell it; tranny oil has a higher pungent smell than motor oil
