Re: Transmission fluid leak

All transmissions fluid level rises quite a bit when hot. If the tranny is on the empty level cold it may well be over half when hot. I don't know where the extra comes from.

So the tranny may actually be overfilled if you fill to the full mark when cold. This would explain the leaking when hot, and why it does not leak when the fluid level is lower.
