so it was late at night when i decided to give it some gas .... see how much i gained up in the third gear...
so i floored it until i get 200 km everything is normal .... 210....220 and i look in the miror and see this BIG Cloud and i go WTF great!
so i park on the right wing of the highway and call one of my friends
he says its the tranny fluid , the tranny is fine and so is the engine...its only leaking?
what do you guys think ? i think the pullies did it because i posted before of some stupid things i felt in the car?

ps: those pullies are going to fry....

It couldn't be pulleys because the pulleys aren't connected to anything that directly makes smoke.Oil and trans.fluid have different smells,find out which one is actually leaking and go from there.

What type of pulleys are they? If they're piggy back style, you could very well be in trouble.
Sometimes pulleys can cause the crank pulley to rotate off center and eat away the seal at the crankshaft. You should check that right away. If its wet, DONT drive the car.

Click to expand...
its leaking between the tranny and the engine.
i am bringing the tranny down , the shop i am fixing the car in say it could be from a gasket to a blown converter...i hope its something small
and yes they are piggy backs
