I have an 88 GT. Its leaking a red fluid really bad. Its coming from in b/n the front and rear cats. Its actually kind of at each pair of cats. Its a 5 speed, so whats this red fluid I have everywhere? Its also where the driveshaft comes into the transmission. Any help would be appreciated.

the red fluid that you are finding under your car, is dexatron (automatic trans fluid ) . i think it's coming from the rear tail shaft seal

Spike is probably right. Some people use atf in the manual trans. If thats not it check to see if the fan is blowing power steering fluid back at the exhaust and trans. More than likely its the tailshaft seal though

alright. any idea why it would be at the front of the trans if its the rear seal?

hey good call lloyd, i actually had that sh*t happen to me. if it's coming from the front of the trans, than it's either the front seal, or like what lloyd said, your fan is blowing power steering fluid back (a possible leak)

ok, i've been checking the ps fluid and it hasn't moved. guess i'll just have to get up on a rack and take a look

Your car is leaking cause it is slow and gay

Believe it or not there is a front seal too!!!

i figured it out. Its the main seal in the middle of the tranny and the seal at the drive shaft. Place wants to charge $450 to do it. Does that sound high?

Depends on your mech. ability. Id say its a pretty easy job just take your time and becareful. PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING if you do it yourself.
