Q: Leaking trans fluid
I have had the fluid and gasket changed 2 times at 2 different shops thinking the 1st shop messed up (duh) I was wrong, I still have a leak. The leak is coming from the pan area but the pan bolts and pan seem to be dry. The skid plate is the area it is dripping from. Not a very bad puddle but it is dripping. Seems to drip after driving and it is parked. I have washed the under carriage to get a clear vision no luck, did not show a pan problem. I have tried a Blue Devil trans stop leak as prescribe still leaks. Thanks for you help.
