    WTF? Tranny fluid leaking? Car smoking...

    I'm going to check with cousin at his shop when he/I gets a chance but figured I would check with you guys anyways. I had my front end on jack stands for well over a month and quite a bit of transmission fluid was leaking out. What is this a sign of? Rear fluid retainer? Now when I drive down the highway, fluid/fluid moisture accumulates on the rear of my car. And when I stop, smoke from what I assume is fluid on my exhaust pipe starts to rise from the sides and rear. Anyone know or have an idea what this points too?

    Note: Tranny is currently/still auto. (and don't tell me the solution is a swap; need a few more things and someone to help me)

      I'd look at the rear main seal/shifter seals.

          Yep. Not sure if Auto Trans have a rear main seal, but those are the symptoms.

              Likely culprit is the autos output seal ....it can be leaking from several places .
              Could also be a few other things like PS fluid but smart bet is on the trans .
