My mgw was supposed to come in last week and it never did so I called the company and asked when it would come in and they said wednesday. Well I needed my car so I threw the stocker back on and just half a$$ed the job and didn't put silicone or gasket down and dind't tighten the bolts really hard. My service engine light came on after about 100 miles of driving and I have really been smelling tranny fluid and noticed some smoke. I'm guessing w/ that not sealed down there is somewhat of a leak. Heh..Any suggestions on the service light and how much tranny fluid to put back in? Thanks

Did the tranny fluid run onto the O2 sensors at all?
