I have a leak coming from my 4l60e trans. The trans has about 500 miles on the performance build done to it. I just had a ls6 engine installed sence then and a 2800 yank stall. sence I got it back there is tranny fluid leaking out from somewhere. It was covered with fluid so its hard to tell where it was coming from.

I jacked it up and cleaned it all off tightened the pan bolts then took it for a ride. I went about 12 miles and no leak.

The wife and I went for a 40 mile stop and go ride 2 days later and it was leaking again. I parked it in a oil free spot on driveway and it was coming out pretty good looked like front of trans I thought input seal.

I jacked the car up and cleaned it all off again and had the car running for about 45 min to see if i could find the leak for sure but again not a drop. I ran it threw all the gears and checked the fluid level and topped it off and nothing.

The shop I had install the motor is giving me the run around about it not being there fault and I cant afford there labor cost when they are already saying they didnt make a mistake.

Id be very greatful for any help. THANX.

did you look to see if it's coming out the vent tube? it could be slightly over full and pushing fluid when it gets hot

Yeah sounds like your vent tube. I have the same problem too and my fix is running a hose back up to the trans dipstick. That away it juust pretty much recirculates.
