    I have a 97 Chev Lumina, and I just changed the battery, and it was sitting idle for
    1.5 years, and did not drive it. Changed the battery today, everything was great,
    all interior lights went on, and she started on one crank. Took if for a drive, and
    noticed this red fluid dripping out badly from under the car. It wouldn't likely be
    power steering fluid, as you would get whining from the pump when low on fluid.
    It's sort of reddish fluid on the ground, and smells a bit oily, and has a bit of body
    to the fluid. After driving it for 5-6 miles and not knowing it was leaking until I
    was about 3 miles into my drive, I turned back and headed for home. As I got closer
    to home, and it was still leaking, it had "no power" whatsoever. I pretty much had
    to coast about a city block to get it to my house, where it's now parked. It is a
    rust bucket, but only has 50,000 miles on it, and it's a great utility car, for picking
    up building supplies etc, and I'd like to keep it. When I took it for a ride, it shifted
    smoothly etc ???
    So, I was thinking, I could get lucky, and it may be leaking from the transmission
    cooler lines, as your video explains ? I think these lines wouldn't be expensive. Also
    my big leak, was coming directly from under the radiator, so it makes sense, Also
    the leak could be coming from the drain plug, at bottom of transmission drain pan.
    NOTE - this leak is coming out fast and steady, creating a pool on the ground fast.
    Maybe I'll get lucky :) and hear back from you as to what this likely is ?? If it was
    just leaky seals or gaskets, the fluid wouldn't be heavily squirting out. It would
    slowly drip out -- I would think.

    we replaced the right axle and seal. Well at least they will all be replaced.

    This video was very interesting but I’m still at a loss with my BMW. I have a reddish-pink colored leak at the front of my car, just behind the engine. If it matters it’s a BMW N54 straight six engine. Am I safe to assume this is also an ATF leak or could it be something else? The car is a project car and has quite a few issues. I also have a spongy brake pedal so I was thinking it may also be brake fluid. Any suggestions are welcome!

      Turns out the leak was coming from a pair of rusty transmission cooler lines. Went to O'Reilly's auto and purchased some replacement hose along with some adjustable metal clamps then I cut off the bad part of the cooler lines to bridge the gap with the new hose. Worked like a charm at least for now anyway.👍😎👌

    I currently am facing an issue with a transmission leak. I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 w/ a 5.3. My check engine light flashes when my rpm’s go higher and struggle with accelerating. But when I let off the throttle the check engine light goes away. Plugged GM scan tool into it and it said p0300. Changed plugs, all 8 coils and has coil harness on both sides. It’s been a real pain trying to fix this issue. It’s been at 3 shops and they say it’s a transmission issue but one said it could be a bad clutch or valve body. But I’m not sure if a failing valve body would make the engine to misfire. Thanks and let me know!
