fcasontoo Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 It looks the transaxle blew a seal at the driver side CV axle shaft. Where are the drain and fill plugs? Is replacing the seal and refilling better left for a good mechanic or the dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcasontoo Posted December 1 Author Report Share Posted December 1 Leaking at circled area, looks like this is all one unit, transmission/transaxle? Using the same fluid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 Any decent mechanic shop should be able to change out a bad half shaft lip seal. No actual dipstick or pan drain plug on the 6 speed. Remove plastic cap on dipstick tube (with comes with no dipstick in it)and fill through that with a funnel. There is a Dorman aftermarket dipstick unit for measuring fluid level. Mechanic shop will know how to refill properly. Drop pan to drain and put in a new filter at same time if it’s over 100k miles on the oil. Or if oil and filter not that old, top up the lost fluid. Mr Dangerfield…he abides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
