I have a 1996 Saturn SL2 with about 81,000 miles on it and a automatic. About a year ago it leaked tranny fluid. Took the car to Aamaco and they said the problem was that the tranny filter had a hole in it and the fluid was leaking from there. They replaced it and the car was fine. Now the car is making a a whiney sound (tranny low on fluid) so once again the tranny is leaking fluid.I fill it up and by the next day it is low again. Can it be the filter withanother hole? Or is it something more serious. The leak looks to be near the front of the car and a little to the drivers side. Any help appreciated.

With the car running look at the tranny cooler lines, replace the leaky one and you should be ok! These run from the tranny to the front of the car, some makes use the radiator and some use seperate coolers.
