My transmission is sitting on the frame and a bolt busted through the housing of the trans and now it's leaking.
I added fluid to it and it stop slipping but it's still leaking.
Can I still drive my car like this, or will the trans go out on me. Do I need a new trans?

Is it the tailshaft where it should be on a mount? Any crack or hole needs a replacement part, you might be able to have the tailshaft section replaced. And install a new mount!

It's the front of the trans not the tail the trans is sitting right on the control arm.

As I said B4 ANY hole needs replacement! Sorry I was thinking rear wheel drive for cougar. Not anymore! But the bulliten applies to front drives!
