Default Leaking problem!

I put my car up on the lift last week( 92 SC400; 47000) and i was looking at the transmission pan and it was leaking? But not a bad leak, like it was coming from around the bolts like the gasket around the screw was bad but i need this problem fixed ASAP. and i can't take it to the transmission shop because i am in ITALY! So what should i do?


Thanks

Crawl under it and try to slightly tighten the bolts. It doesn't cost anything to try, just don't torque them on, or it will either cause more leaks, or you'll snap a bolt.

as of you live in ITALY or you are there for now?? the other thing to do would be to have the tranny fluid replaced and while you are at it replace the gasket itself..

Make sure it is coming from the tranny. I say this because I once changed my engine oil and didn't put the washer on there. When I looked underneath next time, it looked like I had a tranny problem because all the drips of oil were pushed back to the tranny area while driving.
Just a thought.
