Hi Guys, I have a jatco 4spd with a aireasearch turbo running 10.5 psi. Anyway, I took the car for a drive yesterday and decided to give it a bit, then all of a sudden I look in my review mirror and see a bunch of oil leaking from my car! I stopped and got the car jacked, before the tow truck came (as it was undriveable) and could see that oil was leaking from the where the torque converter is... Just wondering what your thoughts are and how bad the damage could be? I am car illiterate compared to most on here so any help would be great!

Yeah sorry, should of specified. It was tranny oil, red in colour. Thanks for the help guys. ---------- Post added 20-06-11 at 12:57 ---------- It seems as though the transmission fluid was coming out of where the box is connected to the engine. I really do wish I wasn't so much of a rookie.
