On the road...

[Ryan Wright]

Garder,

Engine running, tranny warm, yes. & I've only checked when the idiot
light complained. I did not shift into reverse and drive before
checking, however, both times the light has come on and I've found it
low have been right after shifting into neutral after a drive.

Looking for residual fluid... I do see some gunk on the front of the
differential facing the front of the bus almost in front of the rear
duals; also, on the right side of the transmission; and underneath the
engine just above the cross-member. Nothing dripping, though. Just
looks "gunky", you know how dirt and stuff collects around a leak...

Uh, so, when I get home, do I just start calling trunk maintenance
places to have someone check this out? What's the transmission in this
thing so I know what to tell them?

Thanks,

-Ryan
