Leaking ATF after procharger - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

benjo__08 · 10-21-2012, 03:44 PM

I've had my car back up and running for a while now and it has Been sitting for a few weeks as I have been away for school, I came back this weekend and notice that I have a few very small leaks under the car. The stains underneath are red so I am assuming it is ATF as that would be the only red oil in the car. My problem is that the leaks aren near the transmission?? Any one else have this problem before? Could the tranny possibly be overfilled and blowing it out a vent somewhere? Any insight would be helpful here, thanks. Going to check level of the fluid in the 3650 when I get time.

More than likely power steering fluid, you have to remove/modify the ps cooler tubes when installing the intercooler

That's exactly what I was thinking too.

The problem seems to be mainly near the air filter. The filter is soaked with oil

pull off the air inlet tube and see if any coming out of where the tubing goes on, the other is might want to check ur plug make sure its in correct
just check around the headunit, also wipe everything down after you inspect it and in the morning after its been sitting check around it again
how do you have the pvc hose running? is it goin to the air inlet tube?
also if i member right procharger oil stinks, so might want to smell the oil that your finding

PVC is ran valve cover to valve cover and into the intake tube. The oil is definately not procharger oil though, it's bright red.

Ya lol, I know. It's just baffling. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me either! My power steering fluid level doesn't seem to have moved much at all.
