i have an 84 t/a with a 350 in it that has a t5 tannsmission pushing it. i just changed the fluid in the tranny the other day. and this morning i went out to my car and found a puddle of tranny fluid the size of a pancake about 2 feet back from the oil pan, i am still learning about these cars so i dont know what it is called but it looks like it is leaking from above a cross member that connects the body of the car underneath. the puddle was almost directly under that cross member. does anyone know what the problem could be? Is it time for a new tranny? please help

 

since you just changed the trans oil i'd suspect the plug is leaking or oil is still dripping off the car when you drained it.

 

you need to get under the car and look at the tranny. Clean off all the dirt & oil and then see where the leak is. If it didn't leak before you changed the fluid, and now it leaks, chances are it's just the plugs, like ede said.
