I need help..leaky tranny

I just got my camaro back less than a hour ago from a mechanic. Got gas in it. He said I was empty on tranny fluid. Bought some poured the whole 4 quarts in there at a time. Cut the car on it cut straight on no problem. Look under the car under the driver side I see a nice puddle.


I need help !?! Please

Re: I need help..leaky tranny

It can be few things...

the tranny filter housing needs to be retorqued or/and replace the gasket
the collant lines that goes from the tranny to the radiator might be leaking as well.

There might be some other things, but thats the things I had to deal with when I had automatic tranny Camaro.

Thx for replying so fast. But I hope not, I'm praying I just poured it in too fast. It it spilled or something.
