Thank you, this is helpful! I appreciate it.

Just came back from the Toyota dealer today and they said $4,700 for a new transmission....so yeah, not going to to that. They didn't even want to entertain the idea of replacing a seal or cover. Just siad "nope, transmission is shot...you need a new one." This car drives fine and so far nothing is slipping.

I have been putting cardboard under it every time I get home and it seems to have a few drops after sitting warm. Like the amount of 3-4 eye drops.

It does seem to do it more when it is really warm and humid. Some days nothing at all.

As long as I keep fluid in it, I should be ok until it really starts steadily flowing out...no? We really only use this car to run around town and commute to work (10 miles each way).

It is a bit of a chore to jack up the car enough to get under there (and level it) to check the fluid level, but worth it at $4,700 quote. If anyone has any tips or trips on how to make it easier, please let me know. It would be nice to add on some sort of dipstick that came up to the engine!

Thanks again for the advice.
