Ok first off hears the story. I was downtown racing some ghetto rice. Pulled up to a older neon rt took off smoked it. Then I saw some flashing lights down the street(pigs). So I did what any DSM owner does and runs. I took off cut threw the mall parking lot and went over smaller speed bumps doing 40+. It did not feel like it was that rough. Then I went over to my friends house to tell him the story and we noticed that their is something leaking under my car so we jacked it up and could not tell what it was. It is leaked all over the middle twards the tranny. The liquid is not quite as think as engine oil, but still seemed like oil. Maybe brake fluid. All my fluids were good when I checked. Any ideas? Oh and I got pulled over like 30 min before for my underglow.

Inspect all fluid levels... I'd guess coolant. :) It can get everywhere.

if you got an auto id have to look it up to check fluid and im to lazy but if you got a standard than there should be a "plug" on the side of your tranny and a bolt underneath it. to drain it you remove both but to check it you remove the "plug". its full if the fluid is right where the plug starts. if you drain it make sure you drive around first and warm it up to get it hot so it all drains out faster and better
