Tranny Fluid Leaking
this is unrelated to the last post about that part in my trans that came undone.
since i got the car afew wks ago i have noticed that it's leaking trans fluid. the fluid is pink/red as it should be... but is indeed leaking. i checked the level today with the car off - it read overfilled. then i started her up and put her in park and checked again (i'm pretty sure that this is how you are SUPPOSED to check it) and it was OK, but not totally "full".
so i guess that i do have a leak. what are the most common things that would cause this? should i bring it in to a mechanic or just keep my eye on the level and keep it full (where do i add it?).
as i said - it's a really slooooooww leak. any input would help.
