Default Leak

Nice car , before you change pan gasket look at selector shaft seal . Common leak , torque converter drain back into transmission causes fluid to get higher and higher the longer it sits the fuller the transmission gets till it reaches selector shaft seal/linkage and ends up on the ground . Not difficult to replace , have to remove pan then selector shaft to access seal . The other most common leak is dipstick tube o ring . Gravity causes pan gasket to appear to be leaking . Brake clean can be very helpful pinpointing leak .Also warm hot fluid thins out and can help locate leak quicker after brake cleaning suspected cause of leak .
