from the get go i,ve been getting alot of steady noise while driving. question = if the dip stick for the a/t says it,s ok, can the differential level be low?? if you lose a little a/t fluid daily could it be some thing coming out of the differential? is it possible to spring a leak there? a/t dip stick says refer to repair manual about differential level. if i run the car up on a ramp for oil change can i access the differential check level plug?thanks for any help.

The steady noise that you are hearing could be CV joints. Please note that the differential and transmission are separate units. A trans mechanic told me that many GEO Prizms fail due to low Differential fluid.
