My oil seems to be disappearing over a week period. I've checked all the main areas except for the main seal, which I think is the culprit. It's going back to the shop on Wednesday (warranty) so that will most likely be fixed. My other problem is my trans. Fluid just seems to disappear as well. Sometimes I can smell fluid while driving the car and then I'll check it once I've stopped and theres barely any in there. What gives? Do I need a cooler? I'm using a stock 305 stall with my new engine, could that be the reason it goes through so much?

I have another issue with my brakes and fluid but I can't find one leak. Pumping the brakes, checking the lines, calipers etc...NO LEAKS!

 

you can put some paper towel on the ground when you park the car, and see if you get any fluid drops later. Probably want to pressure wash the underside first to get rid of any existing junk.

RMS leak would pool up in the bellhousing, wouldn't it? Not sure what an auto trans bellhousing is like...

Auto trannys don't normally burn fluid I don't think. If you can smell the fluid, it must be leaking somewhere. Perhaps the paper towel will give you some direction to find it.

 

I'm telling you man, the trans pan and surrounding area was CLEAN. I don't remember if there was any on the tailshaft but I'll check on Wednesday. I'm also going through coolant. I saw a nice puddle on the ground this morning as well I just forgot to mention it. It seems to be coming from the front but I couldn't see anything from up top and my car is too low to get under it.

 

Hows the power steering fluid? Got that?

 

Your master cylinder could have an internal leak. That may be why the brake fluid is disappearing.

 

AT fluid is mainly for hydraulic(+lubricating) purpose so I dont think
any trans will burn them..

did u ever swap ur tranny or taken them out?
caz AT trans will take so many fluids til its filled up.

the torque converter takes a while until it sucks all the fluids thats needed,
so if u taken apart the tranny rencently, maybe thats where it went
and u might be just good 2 go if u add some more..

just a thought thou

 

I don't know where any of these fluids are going, lol but I'll know come Wednesday. Coolant is also disappearing on me

Power steering fluid is perfect, thanks

This is a brand new 355 engine with only 502kms on it, I hope nothing major is wrong.

 

so if its a new 355.. the trans been taken off recently..

the trans fluid capacity is sometime higher than what it seems to be though..

good luck
