Hello,

I am wondering what exactly could be causing a transmission fluid leak. I already have the pan gasket and filter replaced so what else should I try or is this the sign of a soon-to-be-dead transmission?

Thanks for your help now and in the past with this bloody car! lol.

best thing to do is pinpoint leak first. it could be an axle seal or a radiator/cooling line leak. the lines get rusty and leak. or the hoses get old and cracked.worse case is if trans to engine main seal is bad but i've never had that problem even on very high mileage vehicle.
