Hi all,
I discovered a leak in the trans hoses that run to the rad.
It's not a gusher, but I am concerned that I am leaking tranny fluid. Ideally in the spring time I'd like to change the plastic pan for a metal one, but I don't want to get into that in the winter time.
I'd like to see if I can 'top off' the trans fluid, or maybe just d/c the hoses, spit out a bunch of fluid at the front, and replace with new fluid.
I've read the LR guide on adding fluid, and it simply says to 'add fluid'
What gives? How do I actually add fluid to the tranny, and if it's through the coolant intake hose, is there a danger of ingesting air into the system that way?
