BIGGUNS Member 15 Member For: 16y 3m 4d Posted 07/03/09 03:15 AM Author Share Posted 07/03/09 03:15 AM Hey guys had a closer look and found the leak coming from around a little plug type thing just above the front of the transmission in the bottom of the firewall, dripping onto the tranny then down off the bottom tranny housing. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its the heater box can I plug the hoses going into the fire wall so I can get it to the shop? If so anyone know anyone around st kilda. Don't wanna go to ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
