Can someone tell me whats going on here? If you look close at the pic you can literally see the tranny fluid pouring off this thing, Idk if its the tranny or the tranfer case or what
I just put in two courts and toped it off with a little lucas Idk some ### shed some light this car is starting to get on my nerves:banghead:

Focus in on the dead center the shiny metal thing which looks like the transfer casr to me, you can see tranny fluid pouring out its redicoulus.

Given that AT fluid and gear oil are entirely different you should be able to tell what it is.

Okay its deffiently tranny fluid, Im looking now and theres a green thing looks like it hooks up to my passenger tire its leaking in the area underneath that, I have to ask to before posting another thread do canisters usually have a air hose or run open?

HERES A PICTURE

That green thing is your axle. Please reread what you posted. What are you talking about? Canister of what? Where? It's very difficult to understand what you're asking.
 
The green thing is your axle, you probably have a leaking axle seal.

Im researching it now thats what im thinking i dont know how to replace one of those im guessing its going to cost me a good amount of money, is there anything else it could be, and I was refering to the chorcal cannister under the batter tray it says fuel and air on it but only has a fuel hose and not a air hose.

An axle seal is only about $10 its not that hard to change.
 
hey syn how hard of a fix is that looks like a PIA btw I just researched and found out that my charcoal canister is missing a hose i posted a picture above, would this cause a boost leak I think not but who knows? anyone know were the hose goes?

So I just went out to my car and stuck my hand in the groove where the leak appears to be comming from and its caked with tranny fluid so i guess the axel seal is back in that area?

Yes its where the axle goes into the transmission, you just have to remove the axle and you can replace the seal.
 
The hose that goes to the Charcoal Canister is the Vent Hose that goes to the intake pipe.

Taking the axle is easier than you think. Just try we will walk you through it.

I wouln't drive it, since its leaking oil from the transmission.
