Alright guys i noticed i was leaking some red fluid here, the other day, Im assuming its tranny fluid it is dripping off of my right cat, any ideas, how bad is it/ looking for a quick easy "cheap" fix thanks

 

First you have to find what's leaking. Could be a line, line connection or the trany pan gasket. Clean EVERYTHING in the ares, then have someone inside the car HOLD THE BRAKE HARD(and have the parking brake ON), then have them run through the gears while you look for the leak. When you find it, let us know and we may be able to give ya a fix. Be sure the tranny fluid is to the full mark before you do this.

 

That reminds me of a question I have.....there is no place to put fluid in a 04 automatic...or check it?

 

There IS a dipstick on all the stang auto's. It's really close to the firewall on the passenger side. It may be hard to see, cus of all the other crap, but it IS there.

 

maybe I should look for it with better lighting.....you still check it with the engine running?

 

Engine running, Neutral prefered, but park is ok, warmed up, and on a level surface

 

How high should the fluid be on the tranny dipstick

 

It's marked

 

found it! what a silly place to put a dipstick with a black handle.....i'm painting it some other color

 

Yellow or orange will do wonders
