You can get a handy Chilton or Haynes manual from any auto store, should show what you need and how to do it. Meanwhile I would suggest to refrain from licking the transmission, you might get your tongue dirty and it doesn't taste too good either. (sorry, jk lmao).

The word you are looking for is "leaking" not licking. The Saturn uses a TAAT automatic transmission and yes, it is very different from a traditional auto trans with a large pan and gasket on the bottom side. The TAAT is actually two pieces that are sealed vertically, not horizontally! You may be able to find a picture or diagrams if you use a search engine on the "Saturn TAAT" acronym. You may also try looking/asking in Saturn Fans at:

Good catch there Bob. More folks that do not have English as a primary language should try babelfish or a similar translator service. Not great for some of the idioms but the price is right (vs a paid service).

Then again, I was reading a post by a Brit who was referring to a torch. Most of the readers were thinking torch as in acetylene when he was meaning 'flashlight'. Oppie
