Caramanos2000 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 My tranny is dripping oil out of the bottom. It seems to be coming from a large nut that secures 2 little orange wires under the driver. I tightened the nut some but it still leaks. Should I tighten it more or is something else wrong? Its lost about a cup or two in the last 2 weeks.

Caramanos2000 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 JAJAJA ROFL i think they bother everyone. Tranny is a 5spd single range FWD. There are 2 orange wires with a small rubber boot going into the head of this nut and the other end of the nut is screwed to the side of the tranny.

GeneralDisorder Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Sounds like one of the gear posistion switches (neutral switch or 4WD indicator, etc). They are plastic with plastic threads. I would disconnect it if you can and remove it to inspect the threads. I have not seen one leak like that but it could have vibrated loose or lost a sealing washer or something. Clean the entire area to be sure it is indeed leaking from that switch. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramanos2000 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 My oil is UV reactive and I check with a UV light and it seems to be coming from the edges of that area. I will get further under the car to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
