So I"m not quite sure how long its been leaking, it could have been doing this for months now. The other day after I get home from work and park the car, I smell a burning scent. Not that usual oil on the exhaust smell, but something different. I kneeled down and it appears I'm leaking tranny fluid. I have no idea exactly where. All I know is where the transmission meets driveshaft, it appears to be leaking. Is it some sort of O-ring up there? I put it up on the ramps to get a better look, and the heat shield was blocking my view. I couldn't really get a great peak at the exact spot of the leak. All I know is the transmission and the pan aren't leaking, its coming from farther back.
Almost certain I'm going to have to bring it to the garage soon, and I dread doing that. My mechanic is great, but he always hesitates and gives me the "you know, this car has 216,000 miles" speech. I don't mind dishing out a few hundred bucks to keep the car going, because I'm sorry, but finding a completely operational 95-96 LSi for less than $2,000 is nearly and probably impossible.
