Tranny fluid leak
MODS - please keep this here until I get some input, no one looks at the tranny forum anymore... 
Ok, so i have noticed a small tranny fluid leak. I got under the car, and there was tranny fluid everyehere, like it sprayed while i was driving. I wiped the underside down, and drove it....no leak. I do notice, however, that there is alot of fluid around the drive axle coming out from the tranny casing. Could this be the leak? Also, what is everyones thought about that tranny leak sealant stuff.....I cannot afford to have major work done right now; will that shit destroy my tranny?

Blown is Best
I had the axle seal replaced under warranty on the 99 TL-P when I had some drops in that area on the driver's side. I don't think it's too terribly expensive to replace.

. These notices were sent to all 2001-2 CL's owners. That should carry some weight to get it covered under the warranty extension!!!!!!!!!!!!
