That's all we know. Just leaking ****** oil. What else beside the solinoid could be wrong? Where/how to check it out?
Your Caravan is most likely equipped with an A-604 transaxle. The solenoid pack is the the box with the black cover on the forward side of the transmission where the wiring harness connects. It is VERY common for the solenoid packs to leak on those transmissions. so I believe the mechanic probably told you correctly.
You DO NOT need to REPLACE the solenoid pack. you need to RESEAL the solemoid pack. It is not very difficult to do and the seal kits are available at the dealer. Most aftermarket parts suppliers do not carry seals for these, but you can check with your local supplier if you like. It only take about an hour to do the job professionally, so if anyone tries to charge you any more labor than that, they are ripping you off.
Also there are some lazy, or inexperienced, or just plain rip-off, mechanics that might try to tell you that you have to purchase a complete solenoid pack.

what code did the mechanic say it had on it was it a shift solenoid or torque convertor lockup solenoid.
SOURCE: no vivible external oil leaks. I just need to know
The oil pump is in the oil pan. You need to remove the oil pan to get to the oil pump. Good luck.
