Trans leak

[bluegunz]

My tranny's got a leak... I put a quart, sometimes 2 a week, depending on how much i drive.
The thing is it only leaks when it's running. I put some lucus in it, helped some but not much...
Any ideas would be great ty

were does it look like its coming from? Radiator area? Pan? CV shaft area?

I would check for rusted trans. cooler lines that run along the bottom of the radiator.

Check the length of the case for cracks, check the pan for seeping, lines for leaking, coolant for red transmission fluid tint and seals at each end of the transmission, at the CV shafts.

Until you tell us where it's leaking from, there's nothing we can do to help you.

This might seem obvious after you think about it, but in general, the process for troubleshooting a leak is: (1) Find out where the leak is. (2) Fix whatever failed that allows the leak.

If it's a gasket or a seal that failed, replace the gasket or seal, clean everything off, torque everything back to specs.
If it's a crack in a casing, then you're best replacing the cracked part, although welded repairs or epoxy repairs are sometimes possible. But replacement with a not-cracked part is a better way to go.
If it's a leaking hose or fitting, replace the leaking hose, or re-seal the fitting.
If it's a leak in a radiator-style cooler core, those are sometimes repairable with solder, brazing, or epoxy, but replacement is usually better long term.
So basically, you just need to find out where it's leaking.
