For some reason, hell loves to reside in my car....
On the way to work today, I heard grinding metal when I was turning,(I already know what it was, just need to limp it around, don't make alot of money) it was louder than usual....so I looked under the car, and one of my boots from the rack and pinion, finally fell off. But thats not the problem...I noticed smoke coming from my exhaust. It wasn't the regular smoke you get from a hole in the exhaust...so anyway, a big ole' red colored drop falls to the pavement and by now you can guess what was burning...tranny fluid...no I'm thinking, I just had the tranny worked on, and its leaking....not only that, but my tranny is a 5spd, why is the fluid red?
The question is, what are the common points that a transmission leaks from? And why the hell is the tranny fluid red?
Please help!
