Some months ago ( 5/6) the fluid, filter and electrical socket were all replaced by my local Indy. Since then, no problem, But this morning I had to reverse with a loaded trailer (300-400 Kg) on to the lawn. The box seemed to be revving up a bit more than normal, but I put that down to the rear wheels slipping on the wet grass. I disconnected the trailer, and again as I drove off the grass, another bit of slipping, which seemed to stop when I reached the concrete yard. So I drove into town and back out again....20 Klms, and as I drove back into my driveway..I saw a thin line of transmission fluid on the surface. I looked underneath, and there is a drip / drop of trans fluid, straight down from the under shields at the bell housing. Hard to be more specific at this stage, until the trays are removed. Hopefully, it will only be one of the cooler pipes from the radiator, or some minor easily fixed thing.Or even some other similarly looking fluid, coming from some where else..... Any idea's anyone? I'm taking it into the workshop this evening to put it on the life and try to see what is the cause. But any suggestions of the possible cause would be more than welcome...and also possible costs...
Thanks
