    Transmisson Leak

    Let me give the back story first. MSRT8 40,000 miles I drove to a car show200 miles from home did not look for a leak so don't know if it was? Never hadanything on the garage floor but did not check when I left the house. Anyway onthe way from the show on the highway me and a Viper were having some funtraveling at very and I mean very high speeds no issues with shifting at thosespeeds for a distance of about 40 miles. Once I got close to home I was shiftingin manual, ESP off the purpose of burning the last of my tread off of the tiresas I have a new set of Nitto's going on the rear. Anyway again no shiftingissues felt at all. This morning pulled the car out to wash the road dirt offand look what I found on the garage floor.
