It did seem that sudden. Did not notice any shift issues prior to parking for the evening, but it definitely could have already been some what low. Although I did not notice any smoking caused by the leak dripping on the hot cata on the previous day. I sorta went conspiracy theory and suspected tampering at how sudden this issue arose but a seal can give out in a big way quickly I suppose... Thanks again.

205k. Yea It is probably damaged, but with fluid good it still shifts normal so I may just be extremely lucky. Guess I'll cross my fingers that its the rear tail shaft seal. 4th gear has been gone for 3 months or so now..65mph, 3k rmp won't shift to 4th...other than that its been fine...a while back I researched the 4th gear thing and discovered it could have something to do with speed control sensor or something along those lines non specific transmission related...(when this occurred i immediately checked fluid levels and they were good) Not sure. Thanks for your reply, any other insight is most welcome

Hello, I have a 1995 Legacy LS AWD automatic 4spd 2.2L 4cyl. The transmission is leaking 1-2 qts of oil a day.. When I add a fresh 2 qts the car returns to normal shifting (I think 3rd and 4th gear are gone now though) What I've done so far: Tried several different brands of Stop leak, and transmission sealers (the latest one being BlueDevil). No change with these added.... I had a friend take a look underneath and he believes its the rear seal that needs to be replaced. (Smoke rises from the fluid leaking onto the hot catalytic converter) couple conerns here... is buying the seal and the transmission is actually leaking from a different seal ...or maybe its not a seal issue at all and if not what else could it be? So heres one question, out of many really but this is a start.... Are all seals the transmission could be leaking from the same? So If I purchase one seal will it work for all seals? Drive shaft seal Transmission pan seal Input shaft seal Valve body seal Unfortunately I have had to drive the car with 0 fluid going 10mph in 1st gear when the fluid has run out over night and I didn't have more on hand. anyways, yea this Subaru is old but I'm attached and would rather repair this than give up on it. ANY feed back what so ever is greatly appreciated. Opinions, options. what to do or not to do. etc. Thanks. I
