Leaking oil bad!
« Reply #15 on: August 20, 2008, 12:56:26 pm »
Well I left a white peice of paper under it and it dripped golden brown.

I drive about 15k both ways everyday to work and did the oil change last thursday.

unless my tranny is dripping golden fluid, I'm pretty sure if is oil.

but none the less I will have to double check.

been at work for 4 hrs and have about a softball size puddle under the car.

Their is no way of checking trans fluid levels on this thing with out taking the side bolt off ?

I think that's the only way to check it.

it would seem the lucas is helping, since the leak has almost stopped for the time being.

To bad my breaks started to seize on me on the way to work...
