Mmm... are you telling me they changed the vacuum modulator on the transmission and it still sucked ATF through the vacuum line? No freaking way. This is the classic vacuum modulator problem and once changed with a new one, it should not lose any more fluid to vacuum system.

Thanks Tiger Well I am telling you that, they have it back at garage and theyare saying perhaps faulty part, say they put a whole new box that houses valve and did not just change valve, if it is not a faulty unit is there any other way that fluid can get across to engine Cheers Martin

There is zero other way for automatic transmission fluid to get into the engine intake manifold. The vacuum modulator valve is the only way ATF fluid could get to the engine when defective.
