Transmission leak

Hi,

Any leak can become an issue. How badly is it leaking? Is the transmission fluid clean and full? Do you know where it is leaking from?

Lets start with checking fluid level. If it is leaking, it may be low. Here are the directions specific to your vehicle for checking. The attached pictures correlate with these directions.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.

2. NOTE: Prior to removal, clean the area around the fill plug.

Remove the fill plug.

3. NOTE: Do not overfill the transaxle. This causes transmission fluid to be forced out of the case.

Using a suitable oil suction gun, fill the transaxle to the correct level with the specified fluid. Add transmission fluid until the oil runs out of the fill port in a continuous stream. The transaxle is full when the oil flow from the fill port has slowed to a broken stream or dripping.

4. NOTE: Use a ball head hex socket to tighten the transaxle fill plug.

Install the fill plug.

- Tighten to 43 Nm (32 lb-ft).

Note that it indicates the vehicle is on a hoist. If you lift the vehicle at home, it has to be level. Please do this carefully and ensure that proper safety precautions are followed.

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if the check engine light is staying on.

Take care,
Joe
