Pulled my car out of the driveway yesterday and there is a nice little puddle of tranny fluid right under where the tranny bolts up. Does anybody have a idea for the reason of this???? Everything seems fine shifting

get some tranny stop leak stuff and it might help for the time being.
tranny's leak from time to time, u should find out where it is leaking from. u could get lucky and the stop leak will fix it if not slow it down. does it puddle up everyday u start the car?

Yesterday was the first time it did it. I know where it is leaking and it only does it when I turn it on

Hello jeff1414 -- I had something very similar after getting my car last year. Took it in to the dealer (at the time it was still under warranty) - here's what they ended up replacing/fixing directly from my invoice:

LEVER-TRANS CONTRL SEL
BT-TRANS GR SH LVR
YOKE & PLUG ASY U-JT SLIP
SE ASY-TRANS EXT OIL

Not sure how hopeful that is, but may be a start when/if you take it in to be looked at. No problems since.

Good Luck.

I just had a clutch replaced....the guy who installed it said that i should also get a REAR MAIN SEAL so that he could install it while the trannys out. its a gasket that prevents tranny oil from leaking to the clutch. Could that be your prob?

How much do you guys think it would cost to get it looked at? And where is the speed sensor located

I had the TSB fix for my 3650 tranny. I had some tranny leak when it was done... turned out the fill plug wasn't tightened enough... you may want to put it on jack stands and look underneath and see if you can locate where the leak is coming from... maybe simple a few loose bolts that need to be retorqued.

those were a problem with the T-5's and the old 5.0's...I would NOT have them replace your rear main seal!!!
