Yea I am slowly learning more and more about my car and i now know that it has a moderatly bad tranny leak. What i was wanting to know is the reasons and how i would go to fix it.

There are several ways for it to be losing fluid. Probably the best approach is to get the car up in the air, well supported, and do some looking underneath, and if you don't find it, then try again with the engine running. Still nothing? Engine running, and trans in gear, but parking brake set to simulate the load of moving the car. If you get no leaks under the car, then you may be losing it through the cooler built into the radiator.

that might be it but the puddle is pretty massive i took off my shoe (size 13 in Men) and put it by the puddle the puddle was a couple inches bigger in length than my shoe how would i fix the line connecting to the radiator just tighten it or get a new one?
