Trans leak after TC installed a TC in march, i think.
anyways,
i noticed that if the car sits in the garage for a week, there is a quarter sized spot on the floor of trans fluid.
right about the spot of the factory cooler lines
took it to work and had my friend ( who installed it ) take a look.
he disconnected one of the lines, did something and then installed it again.
seemed to be ok for a couple weeks, but then again the car has not sat for a week.
it sat for a since last week and noticed today the same size spot.
taking it to work tomorrow to look into it further,
anyone have any info or suggestions to what is going on

just got back from work,
looks like the seals inside of the accumulator are seeping.
that is where the leak is coming from.
can these seals be changed with the trans in the car ??
my tech said it should be able to be done that way.
trans specialists please post up

if you take a pry-bar and "compress" the accumulator, it will seep fluid.
pan gasket and boot are ok
