Another Transmission Thread....

So My Transmission Has been Leaking For Ages Now, and i finally had time to get it fixed, i was told the pan gasket was leaking, so i got a New Gasket and Fitted it...

The Transmission is Still Leaking, But this Time it seems to be only leaking when the car has been used recently. If I Leave the Car off for the night It wont Leak, But as soon as I have taken her somewhere i get home and theres Transmission Fluid All over My Drive Way.

Can Anyone Point Me in the Right Direction as to where else the Transmission Could Be Leaking from?

It may not be the pan gasket, but the leak may be higher, wetting the pan gasket in the process.

Try the torque converter drain plug. Wish I would have gotten a picture of it one of the 100s of times I was under mine.

Obviously if its spinning itll throw fluid "all over", but when it stops theres a slim chance itll stop pointing down.

Is it really a lot a fluid? Youre keeping her topped off right?

PS: I like your randomly capitolized letters haha

Could be the front seal. You would have to drop the AT to replace the front seal.

According to ur symptoms:
the leaking problem couldn't at drain plug but it's mostly leak on gearbox seals!
Coz rotating shaft will prompt to leaking instead stationary shaft. so, it's necessary to check ur gearbox shaft seals.
