[DML] Re: Found a new tranny leak

["Nathan Sobieralski" <valleyrat12@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's a manual.

I will check the level again. I just replaced the oil and I stopped 
filling once fluid started coming out of the fill hole so that 
should mean the level is OK right? Ill look again, perhaps it is 
coming from somewhere else but it is pooling at the shift lever.
