Where is it leaking from? Rear seal, front pump area, around the pan. Could have been run low for a while and has worn itself out.

I had an '87 with the 3.8L that had no reverse (most of the time) CHRIS.O had to push the car on multiple occassions :lol: I only paid $200 for the car. Just try to park in places where you don't have to back up :mrgreen:
