Thanks in advance.

Re: 700r4 tranny leak

When I bought my '91 Firebird I noted something similar. This was after finding my #6 spark plug wire disconnected and my valve covers not torqued to spec. So I checked the torque of the bolts on my trans pan and found most of them were hand tight. After tightening them properly haven't had a leak since. Hope yours is as simple as this. Good luck.
