Help! Problem while driving!!
I was drivingdiwn a street when suddenly I noticed the rpm revving real high while the car wasn't moving any faster. I am almost certain this is a tranny problem. So I pushed my car into a parking lot and noticed the reddish oil leaking from under the hood, also leaking thru my front bumper and onto the ground. My car only has 77k miles. Is the tranny supposed to fail this early? Anybody able to help? I am currently waiting fir the tow truck to come tow me!

Be careful on how much you add. Go back to the dealer and have them refill with the precise amount - you probably don't have a tranny dipstick and it also needs to be read at a specific temperature AND it's like $18/liter. Sorry bro. What a headache it must be for you.
