My 04 Cadillac Deville is leaking tranny fluid on the driver side near the wheel.It seems to only do it when i carnk up and pull off in reverse or brake to turn into my driveway.i have multiple dotted streaks in the street where i enter my driveway.I've wiped everything down 4 times and still cant find it.I replaced the axle seal on that side and it's still leaking.

front left is the drivers side. remove the wheel, remove the axle nut, disconnect and separate the ball joint, remove the axle from the spindle then pull the axle out of the transmission, you will loose some transmission fluid.

Whens the last time you changed tranny filter and fluid. it may be the vacuum modulator or your bands inside the tranny. Pull out your tranny dipstick when running and check level of tranny fluid. Add dextron II of needed. Smell the tranny fluid on dipstick to see if tranny fluid is burndt. if you change filter and fluid, add a can of trans-x to the fluid. Will help seals in tranny.

i think what your referring to is a proportioning valve that regulates the pressure to the brake that the line goes to,this helps regulate brake pressure to all the wheels so they are the same during braking so there is no wheel lock up while the other wheels don`t lock up.this is a common place for the fluid to leak out when the car gets old enough due to environmental conditions such as winter driving,corrosion,wet weather (lots of rain),salt conditions(living near salt water),it will have to be replaced and the brake lines should be checked for condition as they may need replacing as well.

Check the transmission fluid level, reverse needs twice the pressure to activate that drive does. If low refill and try again. If fluid good, I`d say the tranny 3rd reverse clutch is worn out. Recheck the condition of the fluid on the dipstick, if it appears burnt or very dirty I`d still suspect internal tranny clutch issues. It also has a low reverse clutch, but goes into 1st gear as you said.

Going by your description it sounds like you have a transmission leak and not a power steering leak. It seems like the input shaft is where your problem is. To verify this you need to jack the car up and get under there and actual see where the fluid is coming from.

Relays are bad, need replaced. Located on driver's side wheel well underneath the hood. Visible are 2 relays on my 1990 Cadillac Deville that had this problem.

Tap the relays to see if it shuts off. If it does, this is the problem for your Cadillac Deville, I'm certain, of this.

It will seem to run on high even though you switch the car off.

lol.

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

When was the last time you replaced the filter and fluid on it. Most tranny problems are due to dirty filters and burnt traany oil

have ypu checked the fluid level in it? if the fluid level is good, you might want to replace the fluids in it

front clutch worn garage only repair
