Unhappy Why is My Car Leaking Trans. Fluid?

When I pulled out of my garage today, I saw this fluid on the floor where I park, so I got out and looked, and it was trans. fluid, about 2 tablespoons worth.

I haven't put my car up on ramps to look at it because it's dark now. The trans. hasn't been touched since March when I had the system flushed and filled by an A-1 trans. shop. The car has been running perfectly since I bought it too and I take great care of it.

The trans. doesn't seem to be doing anything differently since I noticed the fluid. Any ideas why my car is leaking trans. fluid?

Hey, SFB,

I just had a water pump puke on me just after 38,000 miles. At first I thought it was transmission fluid on the garage floor but it was a bit too far forward to be trans. fluid. It looked like trans. fluid. Turns out it was coolant.

Hope this helps.

I also have coolant seeping out of the pan too.

I checked my car today and it's coming out of my gasket for the trans. fluid pan, so I'll take it in Tuesday and see what's the matter.

My car is being a POS lately.
