Everything is tight. Looks to pouring engine oil out under the cam shaft. The transmission fluid leaked all out then stays in for a bit then leaks all out again. Changed oil and transmission fluid a week ago and everything worked great.

This is hard to say because there are a number of possible causes. The best way to find a leak is to clean all the oil off the engine and transmission and then add dye to one of them at a time. We need to use a UV light and yellow glasses to find where it is coming from. The dye in the oil will glow to tell you the component it is coming from. Once we identify one then add the dye to the other and use the same process to find the leak.

It is odd to have both engine and trans leaking this bad. Is there a history to this or have they been slowly leaking and now they are just leaking worse?
