Okay guys, was out and about today and everything was fine, I came out from the bookstore, and when I cranked it up, it made a strange noise, which we all know is never good.
Sort of clanking noise, almost like dry metal on metal or something, but there was no grinding or anything like that. I immediately shut it down and popped the hood, "fluid" all over the skid plate. Definitely not oil. 1/2 qt low on oil, pretty normal for me. Checked power steering fluid, but the dipstick looks pretty okay to me. Checked the trans dipstick and its full... I had it towed home, pulled it in the garage, still making the noise. Once turned off, if I try to start it it started then died, and then wouldn't start back. Haven't tried again, didnt want to push it.
Then I got to work, I took the skid plates off and no clear indicators of where its coming from. Fluid on most everything on the bottom from just behind the radiator all the way back to the cross member. Pulled the inspection plate off the front of the trans and to my delight everything in there was bone dry. I took a lot of pictures and will offer them up for you guys to review. Give me any and all thoughts. Need them, and need them, like, yesterday.
