Hi everyone. Newbie here. Been reading lots of the great info and threads. Need some advice please.
Background Info:
Bought a one owner C5 in Jan. 3 of us took it for a test drive. 1 of us is a long vette owner. It was great. Salesman drove it 60 km to my mechanic to get it checked out. He was impressed. Very clean. Wife noticed the back of the tranny/diff was painted a grey primer colour and had #s on it. Bought it with a 90 day warranty to start in May. Brought it home on a dry Jan day. 2 weeks later I backed it 3 feet out of my non-heated garage to get some rubber mats under the tires. It ran for about 5 minutes.
Here’s the problem.
When I pulled it back in, I noticed a baseball sized puddle of really clean, red tranny fluid. Never noticed any other leaks before or after.
Thanks for any thoughts or advice?
