a leak is a leak shouldn't run hotter unless its very low

That is what it sounds like. I would check the transmission fluid level. I f it is full, you probably need a transmission. If it is low or out of fluid, then you need to find the leak, repair it, and cross your fingers and hope there is no permanent damage to the transmission.

Does it leak while driving or setting? If setting then let it set and when it leaks , find the source. Best to have a lift.

Run it on the lift to see where the leak is if driving. Make sure it is not a line or the breather tube on top.

Your car probably has a transmission cooler located parallel or near the engine coolant radiator. These flimsy things eventually fail but if you are lucky, it may be a connecting line only. You'll have to locate the lines and cooler from below.
This needs to be done soon, otherwise you will lose enough to break down once the transmission starts slipping from low pressure and fluid level.

Seal between the Engine and Transmission is leaking. The oil is only getting into the bell housing area. If you are checking your transmission oil and it is black or brown you need a major transmission repair and fluid and filter change.

For 2000 Mercury Sable 3.0L EFI DOHC 6cyl the Flasher is located on front seating area, driver side, under dash, mounted in junction block.



Passenger compartment fuse panel
The fuse panel is located below and to the left of the steering wheel by the brake pedal. Remove the panel cover to access the fuses. To remove a fuse use the fuse puller tool provided on the fuse panel cover. I suggtes check the next positions...






Hope this helps (remember to rate and comment this).

the dipstick for the trans on this car is on the drivers side, close to the firewall, around underneath the air intake tube. you fill the fluid with a funnel through the dipstick tube. good luck!

If yo can locate the transmission dip stick[drivers side] the fluid goes in through the same hole as the dipstick was in,use a small flexible funnel.
