[AT] Trans. fluid

[charliehill]

I was thinking the same thing Ralph.  I suspect the leaks have something to 
do with living where there is a lot of road salt used.   I know you are way 
up north but I suspect where you live they don't salt the roads much.
They don't here either.  But in places like NY it's an everyday thing in the 
winter.
