Leaking tranny..
I have a leaking tranny on my 98 C5...Any ideas were it may be coming from...The pan gasket was determined to be ok...I have another on the way, but meanwhile have to stick to this one until the other one is upgraded..

If it were me, I'd raise it up, check everythoing you can one time and clean it up real good and come back a day or two later and see if you can isolate the leak........I dont' know, but it's worth a try, could be more minor then needing a new trani., you never know
