Firstly I am no super mechanic, but if there has been a youtube video on it I can copy it like a champ. So when I noticed that my transmission pan had a small seaping leak, I didnt think anything of ordering the atf and a new filter and seal. I watched a youtube video with some kid changing it and felt confident in doing it. I drove it onto my ramps turned it off and let it drain out, then put it in neutral and pushed it back off the ramps. I then made the mistake of turning the car off to refill the atf. I put in what I had pulled out and tried to take the tdi for a test drive. It drove worse than before I changed the fluid. I got it home and found it was gushing atf fluid all over the ground. Problem is I can't find where its coming from. I then did more research and found instructions that said that if you fill it while its turned off that the atf will come out if the coolers and pumps and will come flouding out of the fill whole. Now I cant seem to get it to stop. Its leaked out at least two quarts of $22 atf all over my driveway.
Please help. I dont have the extra $ to refill this thing every day.
