great idea Mike. I think I'm just gonna clean it up really good and
wait a few days. If it comes back, I'm taking it in. I dont see why
the guy asked me if it was dripping. I mean, if there's a leak, there
has to be drips. Just because they're slow and I dont see them doesnt
mean they're not there.

These clowns have their own standards for when stuff needs fixed or not.
According to the manufacturer, Consumer's Reports, product liability laws
and the like a "leak" is any fluid on the outside of something, that is
supposed to be on the inside. You didn't say whether your replacement
transmission was factory new, rebuilt or locally repaired. You wouldn't
have this sort of problem with a factory authorized unit, and if you did
they would just send the dealer another one to install.
