Trans fluid leaking down somewhere behind the driver side tire. Any ideas what this may be so I know what to look for before I crawl under there again? Couldn't see what was leaking first time under there.

Thanks.

BEHIND the drivers side wheel? The only things I can think of are the axle seal, sidecover, pan gasket, or (unlikely) grommet for the dipstick tube.

Oil cooler lines or fittings - ?

It's trans fluid leaking down. Would that be a trans fluid cooler?
Thanks.

Could be several places, with the fluid running along the cradle and dripping off the driver's side rear corner. Most likely - the CV joint-to-transmission shaft seal and boot.

Transmission fluid should circulate through one of the radiator side tanks. There may be an oil cooler in the other side tank. These lines are one possibility for leaks as well as the other suggestions posted here.

Thanks.
I'll crawl back under there and look around again.
