small tranny leak

[Elaine again ^ ^]

My post disappeared, can I put some kind of stop leak in that won't harm my '95 SL automatic?

Hard to say. One old trick I used back when I was a full time tech was taught to me by the guy I apprenticed for. Put a very tiny amount of brake fluid (not the silicone type) in whatever is leaking. It has the ability to swell the seals slightly which stops the leak. Most stop leak additives are nothing really more than that. Bottom line you can try this trick but first I"d think it would b e wise to find out WHY it's leaking.

Yeah I seen the question, my answer was I dunno. Usually I find the source of the leak and stop it. Where is it leaking at? The axle seals?

I brought it into a trans. repair, the filters were leaking so I had them replaced. The bill said "replaced spin on filter....new, replaced cooling line fittings and filled fluid." $200 My Saturn deserves first class treatment, take care of your car and she will take care of you.

And with hurricane Frances approaching, my Saturn is parked down wind behind the building. She is less than 2500 lbs and would blow away.
