so... just when I convinced myself that my shifting problems were in my
head, I come back to see a small puddle of fluid under my van after
letting it sit for 1.5 hours.  Even the street lights were bright enough
to make out the distinctive redline red.  The funny thing is, the leak
must be almost halfway towards the front of the car, judging from where
the puddle was.  Any ideas where this could be from?  I just drove the car
home, and am going to go back out there with a light in a second if a
puddle has formed.  Hit me with any suggestions.

Thanks,
wes
