I've been chasing a trans fluid leak for some time. It was never very much until lately, but it was always there. There was a puddle under the car every day, and enough fluid under the car that I couldn't pinpoint the leak, so I decided to change my sheetmetal Derale pan for a cast aluminum pan. I'm sure it was leaking, but what I found while after disconnecting the shifter mechanism and dropping the pan surprised me.
I noticed that the electronic speedometer sending unit was covered in trans fluid, and that the center of the drip was right below it. I removed the sender to have a better look, and found that the speedo output fitting had a hunk knocked out of it. I ordered a new one which will be here Saturday.
Geez, I hate leaks . . . and I hate chasing them down even more.
