ok do this lay down on the ground look under the car and l;ook see where the fluid is leaking see if it is leaking from the transmission or a hose if a hose could be 10 dollars of the transmission could be 2 grand thats why gotta check it check the hoses by the clutch fluid reservoir alot of times leak there cause hoses old and the heat from motor rising deteriorate faster then normal check the tranny see if it all over tranny then i would pass on the vehicle but if its just on the firewall then probably be ok be sure take flashlight to check it out so can see tranny and firewall make sure tranny dry
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like you either lost your torque converter or the forward seal on the tranny most likely do to an inner pump problem. All this adds up to a transmission rebuild unfortunately.
mcdevito75 here, Trans. Fluid is put in the tranny from the dipstick, remove the dip stick, use a funnel with a hose attached, get this funnell and hose at any parts store. Also make sure the tranny fluid is for a GM car.
this is tranny fluid. ive had the problem myself. its most likely a hose that goes from the tranny to the tranny cooler that is located at the front of the car and is sometimes part of your radiator. get this fixed ASAP
I didn't realize that that red fluid was coming from my 2000 MPV until the transmission burnt out in the middle of a four hour drive. I highly recommend checking the fluid level (top it up if it's low) and getting it to a mechanic. You may save yourself a couple thousand. My leak was at the front of the car, driver's side. Just a tiny little hole in dull silver tube...
The transmission fluid fill port is actually on the tranny. You have to get under the car, find the tranny and feel around the top for a bolt or a hole. There is a bolt on the bottom to empty the fluid, and to fill it is a pain in the ***. I had to rig up an empty quart of oil with two small rubber hoses. One hose you put it the hole at the top, and the other you blow in. There is no room for you to pour it in. You can also buy small hand pumps to feed in the fluid. After filling, (when fluid overflows from the top port) start the car and put it in drive then reverse and repeat two or three times. You'll find you have to put more fluid in after this.
If the leak is minor take it to a radiator shop and they can probably fix it for you for much cheaper than replacing it. Try tightening the hose, if it is leaking from the crimped end of the hose (where the hose mets the connector), then you will have to replace the hose. If you are getting green then its the actual radiator thats leaking and happen to be leaking trough transmission cooler vents.
It depends on if have you have a 3 speed automatic, 4 speed automatic, or a manual transmission.
The 4 speed and manual tranny share their fluid with the differential so if you fill the tranny you fill the differential at the same time.
The 3 speed differential does not share its fluid with the tranny. To fill or check the fluid on the 3 speed automatic you will need to get underneath the car. The fill bolt faces the firewall side of the transmission. It is about 4 inches above the differential drain plug. You will need a fluid pump and hose to get the fluid into the fill hole. The fluid you will need is Dexron tranny fluid.
get fixed asap if you let tranny run dry will burn it out check hoses going to radiator-vacuum modulator pan gasket fill tube oring etc get fixed asap!!
