Hey All,

Just want to start off by saying what a great forums, very imformative.

Now I have a few issues I need some guidance on. First let me say that I recently had my transmission fixed, I had the adaptive shift error and had to get the tranny rebuilt, they also did upgrades on it. That cost me about $1800 (warrenty covered $600).

Now I seem to be having a oil leak, at first I thought it was maybe a transmission leak as I was told to watch out for them. So I took it back to the tranny place and they hoisted up the car and took a look, it looks like the oil is coming from the oil plug as the tranny is all clean and dry. So I took it to Jiffy Lube as that is where I get my oil changes done, they took a look and said the plug is tight and so is the oil filter, I was a bit low on oil so they topped me off and gave me a new filter free of charge.

I was hoping that was it, but today I saw some more oil on the driveway. I haven't crawled under to see if the oil pan is wet again as it's dark right now. But I'm wondering if there is something I can check or look at. Any tips would be appreciated.

Also, it seems that my climate control doesn't like to change to Panel/Floor mode, I did take the dash apart to change the bulbs in the control so I may have pinched a hose or something but the panel and floor work find if I use either, its just the combo that doesn't work. Could the selector know be messed?

Thanks,
Michael

Clean off around the pan area, if oil appears around the plug again the drain plug gasket should be replaced.

Looks like the leak is from somewhere else, going to take it to my mechanic later. My dad said it may be the head gasket.

Does anyone have a suggestion to the climate control issue I asked about in the first post?

Just wanted to post an update.

My dad and I found the source of the leak, it was the oil pressure sensor. I bought a replacement and we changed it and so far no leaks.

Now does anyone have any ideas why my panel/floor doesnt work on my climate control yet the two alone work and not the combo?
