Message: <blockquote data-quote="cntchds" data-source="post: 288858" data-attributes="member: 9873">My transmission is leaking somehow. I finally got under the car and that is what has been leaking on my exhaust causing that infamous white smoke. It had stopped for a few days when I installed the new gasket, but I guess it was just because I hadn't driven it hard enough for it to leak.So when I first bought it, I towed it back to my house. U-Haul would not insure it unless it was towed by the front wheels, and I had the driveshaft taken out. So I did, and most of the tranny fluid I assumed leaked out then. When I got home I reinstalled the driveshaft, and it was a 0 effort task (meaning I didn't have to force it into the transmission.) Since then I've had this white smoke that didn't start coming out til I pulled my shifter, which I assumed meant that when I replaced the gasket it would be alright. Unfortunately, that was not the case and the Mustang is still leaking.So my questions are. Where can I check to see if it's leaking? Does anyone have pictures of a stock T5 so I can see where it could be leaking from? Second question. I put in more tranny fluid (about half a quart less than specified), if there an overflow? I figure maybe there is too much and it is leaking out to prevent damage from having too much fluid?Let me know if anyone has had problems like that.</blockquote>
