I had a small leak. Very small, which I though was oil. Life is busy checked oil still very small. I turned left on a banked road way the other day and a slip accourred. You know it's spinning but not going. upon leveling out off we went. I've sense checked the fluid. about a pint low. Ok that seemed like a lot but perhaps it's just been awhile. I do the recheck in a couple of days because now at work on the pavement I see a pool. c***! Upon checking it's now down another pint in 3 days. I have now done a crawl under and my pan gasket and bolts are covered. As if gasket is bad??? However, the pan is behind a another area of "covered". It's at the point of what looks like it could be a cover for the fly wheel, just to the rear of the oil pan. At the point where the trans mounts to the engine. Although it does not seem to be coming from there unless it's actually running behind this shield/cover. So now I'm at a pint every three days!!!??? Ok so I really don't have any other drive ability issues, although the dip stick shows a tad bid on the end of the stick. What I mean is up until this point. The fluid was / is clean and bright pink.
