Oily bumper is not a good sign. Keep a close eye on your fluid levels. If you are having trouble tracing a leak, try and clean the engine bay real good and then drive a little bit, the leak should show up and look fresh. See any puddles? Good luck.

ok,my car is also in the shop getting allighned and they say i have a -1.6 caster on the front right wheel(and recomend new struts)i just got new tein ha's 2 months ago.but they are puttin an esentric camber adjuster kit on it(it is off)and said it might help the caster.

can I get some more help thanks!

I'm also looking for opnions on adjustable camber kits(front & rear)the rear is the worst at -1.75

Check your trans fluid cooler lines. Mine rubbed on the motor mount and had a bad leak. I just replaced them with rubber lines.

Like the previous people said, top everything off, clean it all off very well, then see what fluid is gradually losing some or drive it around for a short test drive and then see where your leak is coming from. If you drive at high speed it will make it harder to see though. Be sure to keep a close eye on the trans though, because if you run that low it will over heat and burn up.

well i beleive my transmission seals are leaking,here is why:when i drained my transmission fluid i"splurged" and filled it with B&M TRICK SHIFT. on the package it reads will work with any ATF(automatic transmission fluid).but some thing tells me that it doesnt work with dextron 3 transmissions.

if anyone can confirm one way or the other i would really appreciate it.:help

I dont know about the trick shift stuff, but all I use in my slushbox is mobil 1 sythetic atf.. My transmission loves it and hasnt given me a single problem... Then again Ive been running it since I had around 50k on the odo.
