Why is your transmission fluid dripping from my Cadillac converter

Did you change transmission fluid?Bolts can not be over torque,make worst .

Drop the transmission oil pan, replace filter, reinstall pan. Remove inspection cover to view torque converter. Turn flywheel over by hand till drain plug in converter is at bottom. Remove plug and drain. Replace plug and fill trans. with new fluid.

If its dripping from the Torque converter cover it probably needs a new front seal on the transmission. Gotta pull the tranny to replace the seal. Just make sure its not coming from above like where the tranny lines go into the transmission. sometimes a leak above will settle and drip at the lowest point.

transmission lines to radiator is leaking. The radiator will help cool the transmission fluid in most vehicles, and these lines can get crimped or become loose during normal vehicle maintence. Replace the lines and connectors, and recheck transmission fluid level. MIght just be a loose connection you could possibly tighten up. Busted or cracked radiator?

put a clean cardboard under the car and observe where the fluid actually drips onto the cardboard..then look above that point and follow the fluid to its source..this will be the eak you are looking for,.

HERE IS THE DIFINTION
Automatic transmission torque converter clutch stuck off.
Possible causes - Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Faulty torque converter clutch solenoid valve
- Torque converter clutch solenoid valve harness or connectors
- Torque converter clutch solenoid valve circuit is open or shorted
- Transmission internal mechanical problem

Red oil (auto transmission fluid) could be coming from the transmission itself, or from the cooler lines that run from the transmission to the radiator. Take the car to a reputable transmission shop for checkout and repair. Hope this helps!

If transmission fluid is dripping off the bellhousing your torque converter seal is leaking or your transmission pump seal is leaking. Chances are the torque converter seal is leaking since the torque converter is spinning on it any time the engine is turning, the pump seal dosen't move it just keeps fluid inside the transmission. Even though it leaks with or without the engine running I'm willing to bet if you got underneath it with the engine running you will see it leaks more with the engine running. Now if either seal is leaking it will require the engine to be removed from the transmission to get to the seal. Sorry but this isn't going to be a cheap quick fix.
