We just got a nice clean GT yesterday with 104,000. All appears stock and well taken care of. No leaks of any kind. Then today riding along at 55mph started seeing smoke, pulled over and the tranny fluid was just pouring out. This is a automatic. Towed home and here I am.
Any thoughts on what blew, seal, never seen a seal just dump all fluid like that.

Where was it coming from

We are going too get it in the air now. The wet starts where the bell housing mounts too the block.

brown/black or red in color?
if its oil, its the rear intake gasket/silicone or the rear main seal.
if its red, its the front pump gasket or front seal.

Its a mess but the only thing that stood out was the tranny lines at the radiator. Both lines are leaking. There is a cheep nut and washer that separates the coolant and tranny fluid. Then a brass fitting, then the line. The brass fitting don't have way too seal, as far as I see. So I could see red fluid on the brass threads, after disassembling and reass.
Not sure if this is my only leak due too red fluid spread from there back to the rear end. Is there a die you can use for oil and tanny leaks???

While its on the rack, clean every spot of oil to can see with a cleaner. one that dries quick like brake clean works well.

Run the car for a min and find where the leak is coming from then fix accordingly.

ok that's what we will do.

We replaced the two fittings at the radiator, told they are a self thread seal. Must not be able to re-use them. Cleaned off under car and filled all fluids. So far so good, no leaks.
Thanks for the help.
