check your rear main seal. Also try changing your trans fluid, trans filter, and your transmission pan seal. I recommend you put lucas transmission oil in it and a quart of the Lucas Stop Slip and leak sealer
IF TRANSMISSION LEAKING WHILE RUNNING LEAKING AT TORQUE CONVERTER SHAFT SEAL OR TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES GOING INTO RADIATOR LEAKING.YOU WILL LOSE MORE FLUID AT COOLER LINE BECAUSE TRANSMISSION UNDER PRESSURE THE OIL PUMP PUMPING IT THROUGH THE RADIATOR YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR FLUID QUICKLY IF LEAK COMING FROM COOLER LINES GOING INTO RADIATOR.DONT DRIVE VAN UNTIL FIX BECAUSE FLUID LOST WILL BE TRANSMISSION LOST.
Your transmission is bolted to the back of the engine. (it's big). What you need to do is actually look underneath and find the source of the leak (could be a cooling line or a seal) If it's a line you can replace it. If it's a seal, that's more complicated but you could try lucas transmission conditioner to stop the leak or slow it down. (conditioner is added through the dipstick tube...if you can't find it you man not have one...then you will need someone to show you where the fill plug is).
Slow, slipping or no reverse: “lo-reverse” clutches are worn out,
fluid leak in the reverse apply circuit. It is
possible to remedy a fluid problem by removing the checkball from its
cage in the case in the trans may help (must remove
valvebody), or adding a high-viscosity additive such as Lucas
Transmission additive or other seal restorer product. May also have worn
boost valve (can replace in the pan).
I really wouldn't push it more than 3 months or especially if climate change once the leak stop has stopped the leak it doesn't like temp change. but i've done radiator stop leak from Lucas and went 6 months before the leak appeared again. good luck
change you fluid and filter but when you do add
Lucas Transmission Fix its a non-solvent formulas that stops slip, hesitation and rough shifting in worn transmissions and completely eliminates most seal leaks, it work like a charm on my 2001 caviler that had a very simular prolbem , i didnt even change the fluid i just sucked out enofgh fluid to put in the product . this stuff works
If it's red, it's transmission fluid. Coolant would be green. Check the fluid level, don't let it get low, Chrysler minivans are prone to transmission troubles, and low fluid levels over time will ruin a a transmission. And be sure not to overfill, it's just as bad for the trans. Have the leak checked out and repaired, good luck
