I posted before because my car was not catching when it accelerated, I found out that the transmission fluid was dryer than the Vegas Desert. I have put some in my van, any recommendations for stopping the leak?I don't want to get a new car, this is paid off and I just use it to surf. Everything else run perfect.

Find out if it's a seal, or the pain, or the control module on the top...clean it at a car wash with the degreaser brush, then let it idle while you look around...A lot of trannys leak after a pan is removed for a new filter, this is because you must remove the sharp edges around the bolt holes. I use a socket under the hole and tap the hole with a ball peen hammer, this flattens it and removes the edge...
