> AHHH!! I'm leaking ATF again!! Marla, at the rear of the transmission on the right side or passenger side there is a place where a dip stick tube could be installed for when this transmission is used in other vehicles. The hole where the dip stick tube can be fitted is covered with a metal plug which very often rusts and therefore transmission oil will leak out. If this is the case then you can plug that hole with a rubber or plastic plug of similar size and RTV silicone sealant. Just make sure that the area is cleaned very well with something like lacquer thinner so the silicone will get a good bond. Hope this is your problem and you get on with enjoying your Vanagon.
