Small transmission fluid leak, next to starter, CV axle
Small transmission fluid leak, next to starter, CV axle
Anyone have any experience with this? Possible that it's because the tranny is slightly overfilled? No leaks anywhere else.

that is the ac compressor , and steering rack in the pic
it might be ps fluid , or from a trans cooler line that far up

Thanks, no PS leaking, and I thought maybe cooler lines but we'll see. It wasn't leaking ever until I had the front jacked up for an oil change then got the baseball sized puddle of red. Not leaking now either.s/c'd cav wrote:that is the ac compressor , and steering rack in the pic

This is actually a plausible theory although, as it smelled exactly of the Amsoil I put in when I changed the pan and filter. And of course I spilled some. Installed the flexible dipstick.s/c'd cav wrote:maybe someone spilled it , and it was puddled up tell you lifted it with the jack ?

Any other leak before now I would have noticed. Kind of why I'm surprised.

i had that issue with the flexible dipstick on my G8 when filling it , the hose backed up and puked , lol
Re: Small transmission fluid leak, next to starter, CV axle
That's very odd? Must have made a nice seal on it for no air to follow the fluid in. Haha. Thanks for the help will update if I have any more problems.
