So I go to Cottman (who have done good work for me in the past) and get a full drain, flush, pan drop and clean service on my transmission. Verify proper fluid. A few weeks later I notice a very minor oil leak on my carport. I didn't put two and two together and figured I had developed an oil seal leak, vehicle has a lot of miles. After a couple of months of this I crawl under to verify and find it is not an oil seal but a very small leak from the transmission pan. So I go back to Cottman thinking they will make it right and am told there is no warranty on pan leaks after thirty days. They will see about it but charge me again. This is a vehicle that never leaked anything before I brought it to them. So I express my displeasure and leave.
I wonder if it is just a matter of resetting the torque on the pan screws. Or could they be over torqued. Or if I'll have to remove the pan and reseal it. Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks
Frank
