Leaking gearbox/overflowing?


SpeedySub

Recommended Posts

Hello

Yesterday on the way home noticed some smoke from under the bonnet/car. Not much but enough to notice. Looks like there was a leak from the auto gearbox. It was only on the drivers side behind the front diff. it ran down the junction between the gearbox and diff and on to the exhaust.

I have done a bit of research and it looks like it might have come from the overflow pipes on top of the gearbox.

It was a hot day and I was in stop start traffic most of the way home, then got to a section where I can get upto 100kph, so I gave it some gas and it picked up speed really fast (much faster than usual), it was only after that I noticed it was smoking.

Could it have got too hot/too much pressure and overflowed to release the pressure?

Could I have done any damage?

Is it a symptom of a bigger problem?

(I checked the ATF level and it seemed to be still at the full line)

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
