Leaking Transmission
Has anyone experienced a transmission leak in their 1LE?
Since day one there has been a leak somewhere. It has been back to the dealer three times now. The leak appears to be coming from the top somewhere. Last time in the dlr. They pulled the trans and resealed up by the shifter. Alas, I backed out of the garage the other day to find another puddle. There's not a lot of places the fluid can come from down there. I am wide open for  ideas before it goes in again. I'm at about 22000miles.

Update, took the car to the dlr today to go through the process once again. The car is on the host, 3-4 guys underneath it with flashlights. They say, "yup, its leaking from up there" (this is just like last time and in my opinion a waste of my time). So I'm told to go and make an appt. I asked them what they are going to do as this is the fourth time its been in for the same problem. They didn't know. So I said, to me what was obvious, "since the appt. will be after the long weekend why don't you guys put some dye in the tranny and then you might be able to see where its coming from". Wow, you'd think they never heard of dye before. Ok, so I'm venting a little here. They put some dye in and tell me to drive the car lots.
One guy did say that maybe the casing is porous. Guess that's possible because there are certainly not many places on a manual tranny that fluid can come from. Guess we have to wait and see. |

Update, after agreeing o a new case, they pulled the trans out again.
I was at the store so they called me into the shop. I could see it as I was walking up to three mechanics standing around. I said, REALLY???!! From a distance you could see the bolt for the shift détente was not tight and oil leaking out of it. So after all the times f taking the Tran in and out, all the hassle and arguments. All that was needed was a tech that bothered to look for the obvious. We now close this case. Morons
