Trans Fluid Leak
I was under the car last weekend and I noticed this. I had trans fluid collecting just rear of my 4l60e. Could it be coming from that sensor? Which sensor is that anyway?
The car has been sitting up for about three weeks so that may have contributed to the leak. I had the trans rebuilt about one year ago to handle a lot more horse power. I have not noticed any dripping since then. Last weekend I also noticed the trans pan bolts were loose and one bolt was missing. I guess someone didnt torque it down enough. I replaced the bolt and retightened the ones I could get to and will do the rest when I can get the x-brace off. As the picture shows though the leak appears to be coming from further up.
Someone refresh my memory since it's been a year. I want to check the trans fluid level and add some more Royal Purple. What type do I need?
Thanks

Had the same problem when I first bought mine. Got a new o-ring for the speed sensor and that fixed it.the o-ring was flattened in it's groove to the point when I removed the bolt... hold down fork and wire connector the sensor literally fell out. Strange though I would think they would have replaced that o-ring when you had the tranny "worked"
