[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1043812, member: 74901"] Happy to help! Check ATF level at the DipStick on the right side of the engine before driving anywhere; let engine & tranny warm up to 150f+ first then check the level idling in Park on level ground. Top off the MerconV into the DipTube, to proper level. If it's just a drip, should be OK driving a couple of miles. If more than a drip (gushing!), have it towed. If it's only a leaking TransCooler hose connection, don't let a mechanic charge more than an hours labor & a few bucks for WormClamps+ATF. If you've not had your Transmission ATF+Filter changed in the last 33kMiles, consider having that done. Also best to do a general inspection under neath for any other leaks & loose\broken\worn suspension parts assuming the mechanic puts it up on a lift. At 225k Miles & 18+ years old, this horse likely needs some extra TLC to keep her going another 100k. [/QUOTE]
