Smoke at 100mph
Yesterday i was coming back from the lie doing about 100 at 2am all of a sudden i saw white smoke coming out from underneath my car i thought it was a poped tire pulled over, all my tires were fine i looked under the hood and i saw some liquid on the muffler pipe behind the tranny. I was leeking tranny fluid !
I got back on the road doing about 65-70 no smoke. So my conclusion is this i believe the viscosity of the tranny fluid under high temps made it thinner therefore making it leak, with my last tranny fluid change which was about 400mi ago i added the lucas tranny stabilizer. So wouldnt all in all make my tranny fluid thicker? When my car is parked it still leaks not too bad but it drives me crazy, im aassuming its a seal of some sort. What can you guys recommend if anything thanks

Stay away from additives. They cause more harm than good. I'd suggest draining out that crap from your tranny, and installing straight tranny fluid. If you have an SC4, use ONLY the Toyota IV "T" tranny fluid. If you have an SC3, then use whatever the hell it calls for.
If you still experience leaks, you are probably looking at having a seal or two replaced.

If your tranny is leaking i recommend changing the tranny oil pan gasket or sealant. plus check your oil level make sure its not too high. cuz it happen to me before and it was i added too much of tranny oil. when going fast your oil temperature and compression went up and if it too high its leak out which cause the smoke.
