I believe I have a leaking rear transmission seal. My car has been leaking transmission fluid on to the driveway. How much will it cost on the average to fix. And how far can I drive it before I damage the vehicle? It's leaking at a medium rate of speed.
Thank you,
Liz Newman

Price to fix will depend on what has failed from around $150 for a rear seal or servo cove to over a thousand if a front seal, the trans will suffer if low on oil and damage will be sever get it looked at ASAP
