I’m very sorry that you’re having this issue and together, we will get this figured out. I will need your help too because I can’t see, touch, hear or smell anything that’s going on with your vehicle. We may also require some specialized testing tools in order to assist us in diagnosing the problems due to the complexity of today’s vehicles. JA will offer a phone call to you at an additional fee, it’s your choice. Please be patient with my replies, I reply back in question order received. If I send you an attachment, I will tell you, BUT, you will NOT get it on a phone; you must be on a tablet or PC. Please let me know when you are satisfied with my answers too so we can close out your question. Tough to understand that it's that hard to find unless it's coming from a fitting. I would add dye to the trans fluid, run it for ten minutes and search again for the leak with a black light. The leak can't hide from this method of testing. Thanks again and all the best:) Ron

WE can clearly see it running from the wire the runs underneath we repalced the o ring and clip on it and its still coming from this, should we replace the wires as wellIm already a lot into this transmission replacement and have about had it with the car
Automotive Expert
You may also have a warped component that supports an "O" ring too. Thanks again and be well:) Ron

If the component is warped would that constitute replacing the wires that run from the transmission as well to rule that out as an issue
Automotive Expert
Sure, plus the fluid will eventually ruin any wire when fluid is exposed to it, it will swell it up. It just needs to be looked at a little closer, and the dye will find the leak for sure. Thanks again, Ron

Thank you
Automotive Expert
You're welcome, thank you too and best of luck:) Ron
