    Default V6 Transmission Leak?

    Put this in the VY thread but no one seems to be able to help, anytone here got any idea?

    My auto trans has been using a bit of fluid. I refilled it last service and since then it has travelled avout 3000km and needed around another 200ml. Checking under the car today the only sign of leakage is around the starter motor, there was some trans fluid on the 2 bolts holding the starter motor in place and a bit on the plastic cover plate underneath it. I took off both plastic cover plates and the inside of the bell housing is clean, no fluid nor is there any comin gout of the drain plug inthe bottom of the bell housing and it is also bone dry there as well.
    Does anyone have any idea where this leak could be coming from? I can't see how it could be an oil seal on the input shaft given the inside of the bell housing is dry and free of any trans fluid.

    what about the cooling line from the trans to the radiator that runs up the side of the motor, maybe that has rubbed through a slight hole in the pipe on the motor...

    I'm going to jack it up again and have another good look but I am pretty sure that all that is on the other side of the car.
