Default Tranny leak

So my cars leaking tranny fluid, not puddles but big enough drops...My uncle said to check fluid lines... so what i would like to know is where are they lines as im about as stupid about cars as they come, pictures would be awesome or a very good description........I cant afford to get it fixed by a garage and its not even worth it, the car has 201,000 miles on it.


Seems like one problem after another!

If i do sell i think i want between 5-600. I can negotiate though. This is if i don't get another neon. The motor runs like its brand new seriously, it has more ***** then it did if it was brand new i bet

Heres a list of parts...

All changed within 30,000 miles ago

magnaflow super 40 muffler
Timing belt
New waterpump
EGR valve
Both 02 sensors
4 brand new snow tires
New starter less then 3 months old
fuel pump less then 3 months old
Brand new speakers
Head gaskets MLS

The transmissions never had any problems so I'm not sure what's up.

well shops around me i live in rotterdam ny so they want between $400-$800 and the excuse will be is because its alot of work tearing the trans out of the car because you got to take out the axels and they will give you alot of reasons why but thats the going rate around me

Only the price of the seal if you do the work yourself.

the tranny lines are on the front of the tranny, basically under the radiator fans...
if that isnt where the leak is, i would also consider checking out the axel seals and the trans pan gasket
