Hopefully someone here has some insight. Back in January, my Rav radiator sprung a leak. It got parked until a couple weeks ago, because I have my truck and I drive my patrol car daily. So I finally got around to putting a radiator in, and that went smoothly. I pulled it up to the driveway and let it idle for 10-15 minutes to check for leaks and then shut it down. The next day I started it up to run some errands. I got less than 3 miles down the road and stopped at a stoplight. That’s when I noticed smoke rolling from under the hood. I pulled over and popped the hood. I saw oil running down the transmission and had a pancake sized oil puddle in less than 30 seconds. So I high tailed it back home and parked it. But, I can’t figure out where it’s coming from. It’s a front wheel drive, so the motor is mounted sideways. It was running down the front and rear of the transmission, so it had to be coming from that area. Any ideas? I zoomed in best I could to show where it’s leaking. You can see oil pooled up on the transmission. And yes, it’s motor oil.
