I will check this out. Where can you see or feel this bolt and connection? I am often dumbfounded when I am lying there looking up at the tranny. I wish I had a lift, things would be a lot easier to check out. The only thing is that it seems to leak more after being driven, but it also leaks while sitting. I guess driving just makes the ATF hot and more prone to leak. Thanks for the help.
