[T3] ATF leak

[Daniel Baum <daniel@type34.info>]

<x-flowed>Hi all,

I took the car for an approx 20km drive this evening, after a tune-up. 
After I got back, I stopped to tweak the idle speed a bit, and noticed a 
big puddle of ATF collecting under the car. It seems to be coming off 
the torque converter, but I can't be sure.

When I checked the ATF level, it actually seemed to be a bit high. Does 
it go up when the oil gets hot or something? Is it possible that 
overfilling it could cause a leak like this? It seems to leak most when 
the engine is on.

Could something have come loose? (I may be imagining this, but something 
seemed to be rattling nearby) What should I check before taking 
everything apart?


Thanks,


Daniel
