I cranked my car today for the first time in about 2-3 months and everything engine-wise sounded normal and the car ran fine in idle after the engine warmed up. after the engine warmed up I put it in Reverse to back out of the drive way and the car wouldn't move, and after a second or two i noticed smoke so i turned off the car.

I leaked a good amount of Transmission Fluid from what appeared to be near the center of the car.

I have no idea why the car is leaking or what the cause could be... Here are some pieces of information that may help you guys help me:

Transmission Pan Seal was changed about 8-10 Months ago, O-ring seal was changed about Half a year ago. These were changed due to minor leaks when i used to drive my car daily, and there was no problem up until the day i Parked my car at my parents house before going to school.

The car has been stored in outside temperatures averaging near 40-70 for the past 2 or so months, with the temperature dropping to freezing only several times.

Any ideas why/where the leak could be coming from? My own guess is a seal, but where? and why?

 

Sounds like it might be coming from the rear trans seal, where the drive shaft enters the tailshaft of the tranny. Check it out and let us know. If so, it's an easy fix.

I talked to several mechanic friends myself and theyre saying I need to change the Rear Trans Output seal which seems like what you're talking about Poot...Kinda sucks i have to do this because I already replaced this seal last year...
