[color=red:3374fc7abd]using 1 to 2 quarts a month there is a good chance that the leaking is happening more going down the road than sitting still. Of course there probally should be some drops here and there were he parks but just might not notice it.. Check the undercarage for the fluid. should beable tofind some sign of the magical fluid.. Because when it comes to transmission fluid there isnt many places it can go, meaning there should be no way for trans. to mix with any other fluid. Thats just the way its setup... Nothing else call 911 and tell them u got a thief.... Jess S.[/color:3374fc7abd]

Suggested Repair

Inspect the undercarriage for transmission fluid, including leaks that may occur while driving rather than when parked. Small drips at parking spots can be easy to miss. Transmission fluid should not mix with other vehicle fluids, so look for an external leak path.
