Curious if I did something wrong when changing my tranny fluid last Thursday. I drained the old and put in new on Thursday night. It seemed to take right at two quarts of Redline. I drove from Allen to Carrollton then Frisco for some appointments with no issues. On the way home I started smoking heavily. It smelled like tranny fluid and since I was running fine (no driving issues, no sounds) I limped home.
Put the car up on jacks, I couldnt see an obvious leak point (I had spilled some fluid when making the change and hadn't cleaned it up, I know what yall will say to that), so I sprayed some engine cleaner, scrubbed and hosed off the tranny and exhaust. The fill plug was loose and I tightened it by almost one full turn. Assuming I had the problem fixed...I left the car on the jacks and ran it for 20 minutes seeing no leaks, no issues on atest drive either.
This morning I suddenly started smoking heavily on the tollway.Same thing... I am leaking tranny fluid and it is blowing back onto the exhaust and I am smoking like crazy. There was enough tranny fluid on the exhaust that it dripped onto the concrete once I came to a stop here at work.
I've never had this issue before and I obviously did something wrong when I changed the fluid.
Any thoughts?
