Full disclaimer to start off with..I have not had the time to throw the car on stands and run it in gear yet
A couple of weeks ago I pulled the car out to clean the garage, and when I did so I noticed it took a bit for the car to move. Just chalked that up to the fact it hadn't been in gear while on in a while, so I held the brake until it started to push. Got out, turned around and there's a pretty good sized puddle on the floor. I cleaned it up, and tried to make note when moving the car back in to see if anything was actively leaking (didnt see anything)
Went out yesterday for something unrelated, and figured I'd check to see if the puddle had returned..it does look wet in two places. A little forward of the front of the pan, and a little rearward of the back of the pan (almost near the speedometer housing) but center to passenger side of the car.
Easy thought would be pan gasket. In the 10 years I've had it, Ive never even opened the transmission up..and I'm sure the amount of time it has sat over the last 6 years haven't been kind. Supposedly, the front seal was replaced when the engine was out for preventative measures. Not sure I buy that, but Im equally as lost.
Does anyone have any ideas off the rip? Is there a way to pressure test the system, or is it best I just put it on stands and run it?
Thanks in advance
