    I seem to have a tranny leak

    it seems I've sprung a leak it seems to be the tranny fluid but not 100% yet need to clean the engine bay to see where it coming from the reason why I assume its the tranny fluid is because the engine oil is till full I also seem to have a coolant leak I have red residue on the engine block but again don't seem to loosing any coolant she done 106000km and due for service at 110,000 I do the services every 10000km as I use nulon synthetic engine oil they recommend every 15000km but thats to far and between for my liking

    Looks like engine oil from the front crank seal, by the way it is running down the front of the sump...But, the oil from the plastic tray can show a leak from the tans oil cooler. Is it running down the sides of the chassis aswell? Have a look in the front of the wheel arches....

    you might also check the Power steering fluid that much loss will quickly turn up in that one,

    If you're sure its ATF, it is worth checking the hoses to the ATF cooler as they can blow apart, and also check the coolers tanks which can split.
