Subject:AT & Coolant Leak
From:Andrew M Fox
Date:Sat, 10 Nov 2001 19:39:45 -1000

My auto trans is leaking and i think it may be from the big square shaped
gasket on the bottom of the trans.  Anyone know if this is hard to
replace?  Where are other prone spots for leaks on the AT?  What is the
best way to check for leaks in the AT?

I also seem to be leaking coolant.
Not sure where yet but without removing the engine tin i can see wet spots
on the head gasket.  Leak is relatively slow.  Does anyone know where i
can get or make a hand pump for putting some presssure on the coolant tank
to check for leaks/holding pressure?  Other ways to verify where leaks are
coming from?

Thanks very much,
