I have a 95 dodge grand caravanSE, 3.0, replaced transmission, new torque converter, seals. Works great, but won't stop leaking. Mechanic pulled tranny again last week, again replaced seals, it is still leaking, set to pull again next week, any ideas how to make it stop?

Hi guys. The gasket under the solenoid pack is often overlooked. Once the area is washed off with engine degreaser, consider adding a small bottle of dye to the fluid. When the leak shows up again, you search with a black light. The dye will show up as a bright yellow stain that you follow to the source.

"Where is it leaking" seems to be the question. Lines are fine, front seal was replaced twice, axle seals replaced lt & rt, not positive about solenoid pack but will ask this afternoon and about using the dye with fluid. This adventure began with a small fluid leak a few months ago- took it to be diagnosed and my small leak went huge - that pin that spins & goes bad in this tranny(?) So replaced entire transmission- surprise! The leak is still here, after second time it came out and went back in, I came to this site for ideas. At this point I just want it to stop leaking so I can send it on its way. Thanx guys.
