ok i have a leak and it is running down my tranny and it is a greenishbrown color fluid and it does taste kind of sweet but then bitter when touched to the tongue if this is a coolant leak where the heck could it be coming from cant find it have looked everywhere.. HELP PLEASE..
 
look harder... thats really the only way to find it. Trace up teh tranny and see what the deal is. Could be heater hoses to... just against firewall and underneath the throttle body/directly above the tranny (near the linkage) and inspect all hoses. Its hard to find sometimes...

If you still cant find it, wash EVERYTHIGN down and let it air dry completely. Start the car and use those hawk eye and find dat biotch :cool:
 
ok i think i found the leak underneatht he coolant recovery resovoir fill cap i think it is the bypass line but i am not sure because it has a plastick cover over it but i think it is coming out of the fitting that connects it actually i am pretty sure... i dried it up and let it sit and saw a drop there a couple of minutes later now the only question is how do i fix it? take it off and put sealant on the fitting or just buy a new one and replace it.. and if i do that where do i find it? i am kind of slow at doing things i can figure them out just doing the project is the problem
