Hey there everyone
I'm in need of some fairly urgent help. For some reason during the past week, the VS has been squirting transmission fluid back up through the spout in the engine bay, pushing the red locking cap and dipstick out of the way in the process. all three times i drove it, car was cold and i wasn't pushing it harder than usual. yet i drove it over 400km on the weekend after the first time it happened, not a problem.
before anyone tells me that was stupid, i ran the car for a good hour before i travelled and nothing happened, so i assumed it was a once off.
i have checked the trans cooler breather lines (2) near the radiator, but yet to do anything else. this obviously didn't solve the problem. anyone who might know what the problem is and how to fix please let me know. i believe there is another breather line attached to the actual trans under the car but yet to check that one
Cheers guys
