Default So lifted my car today...

Noticed a few things.

There's a few bolts missing from the transmission case. Clearly means it has been serviced before.





Next thing was there's a leak coming from something over here. I washed it down so I can get a better look in a few days as to where it's coming from.

Lol I'm glad too. The wtf look on my face was priceless. Trying to figure out what's my next move and what exactly does the missing bolts mean.

Car drives like new btw.

Is that wet because of oil/fluid or is it wet because you tried to clean it?

After you get it put all back together clean it down there!!!!!! Get some degreaser and clean up all oil off the underside. This way if you do have an oil leak you will be able to trace it down. As it sits now you would have a challenge tracking down a leak.

Looks like there's oil all over the pan o_O;
OP - you have a leak on your hand if that's not your doing.

holy *******!

While you're down there you should change the gasket, it could have deteriorated while the bolts were missing.

Yea the pan itself was moist that wasn't my doing. I cleaned the pan after. It seems to look like oil? Tranny fluid is different so I'm trying to figure out why the tranny case is moist with oil.

Was thinking that also. Car drives like butter and there's no check lights at all. Seems to be to be a case of **** it I can't find the other blots or the blots fell out. Seems to need a gasket for the tranny no ?
