[s-cars] Speaking of trans fluid

[Paul DAnneo]

Hello All,
   
  Speaking of tranny fluid, I noticed a burning oil smell at the center of the car as I was pulling into the shop to get the snows mounted. When the car was lifted I found my trans is leaking at the rear seal(?). Dripping on the cats. at the rear connectors. Looks like its relatively new. Also looks like an exaust soon (that'll be later)
   
  My wrench says they all do that. Says 2-3 hours and the next one will probably leak too.
   
  Questions:
   
  Severity of the issue, how long till its a big issue?
   
  Can I travel distances?
   
  When its done, what else should be done?  If any.
   
  And will it leak too? He's a compitent mechanic.
   
  TIA as always.
   
  Paul
