Few weeks back when the car was idle for 2 weeks, i noticed a leak and the got it checked by indy shop. They confirmed it was transmission leak and need to change oil pan with filer, sealing sleeve, quoted $1100.

Its almost 4 weeks and now and i don't find the leak.

Should i get this wok done as soon as possible or is this intermittent issue?

thanks.

if you dont see any oil under trany pan i wouldn't panic, but just keep it eye on it , $1100 sounds pretty price you can get all the parts plus 6 liters of oil for around$300 ..

You should at least top up the fluid. Running a transmission with insufficient fluid = $$$$$$ down the road.

Maybe it is not leaking because there is no more fluid. . Cars don't fix themselves; ignore at your peril.

thanks for your response, i will get the car checked again.

i noticed a leak on the floor after i was back from vacation(when it was idle for 14 days) and later few more drops for two weeks after i started driving for work. Now i don't notice even that drop.

This happened to me and like a fellow forum member you can do it yourself for approximately $300. I replace my transmission pan, gaskets, new sleeve and new oil. It took me 3 hours to do the job. Not too bad for a noob.
