Went out to the garage 2 hrs later and the 'burning oil' smell was so bad I thought the car was on fire. Also, a large pool of transmission fluid had dumped out of the gearbox onto the floor (by large I mean the whole area under the rear of the car was a swimming pool). > > I start the car regularly and drive it up and down the drive way 50' or so.
