Ok, I found that the speed sensor to the tranny had leaked some tranny fluid onto the cats and fixed the leak. I did that today and wiped off as much fluid as I could. The problem is that the cats are smoking when I shut the car off. It seems to be coming from between the heat shield and the cat itself. The car does run alittle rich and am still working on that. Did a search but wanted some type of time frame on when the tranny fluid should burn off?? Maybe Im worried about nothing.

I was just under the car and it looks like the leak has saturated the rubber mount for the x pipe and when it gets hot the tranny fluid seeps down between the heat shield and pipe. I freak out when I see smoke

Don't trip. Try spraying it off more with some brake cleaner if it bugs you that much.
