Was out grabbing something to eat last night with my daughter. On the way home I notice my back glass looked wet like it had been raining, which it hadnt. Then I see some smoke blowing up behind me. Im like ok has to be me but its running fine and like normal. So i decided to pull over in the first parking lot i can find, which was harder then I had expected all of a sudden stepping on the gas did nothing and i was creeping along at like 4mph.
Anyways, get into the parking lot and step out and smell that lovely atf smell and see a huge puddle of it under the front differential.
Called my insurance company which i have road side assistance with to get it towed back to my place only to be told "You dont have that on your policy anymore" I was a bit irritated then. Was like 29 outside and i had my 6 year old with me.
By the time I get a tow truck there i see where it was coming from, one of the hoses going to the radiator had not broken but just came loose. (Metal line from the radiator and metal line from the transmission with a rubber hose in between, the rubber hose had slipped off) Not sure how that happened.
Anyways any chance this caused any damage? I put 3 quarts back in it today and its not wanting to go into gear, it does but engages slowly.
Im hoping it just needs some more fluid in it, but I also dont want to put too much.
