There is tranmission oil leak from somewhere near the transmission and when it's cold sometimes the transmission have delay when operating. Once drive for 2~3minutes and warm up the car it's OK.
What possible problems does it have?
And what should I do?

And final question.
Most of the dodge cars should use ATF-4 oil for transmission but the former owner had been used regular DEXRON product. Is it OK using it or do I have to change whole oil to ATF-4 product?

Hi there, I agree with the advice from BMRFIXIT, I would only add that Mitchell 1 call for ATF Plus type 9602 oil, is the oil leak you have seen engine or transmission oil?
