Okay I was driving for awhile in the Denton area of Texas, on my way to Gainesville. Anywho, I noticed that there was some white smoke coming from the rear of the car, and the only reason I noticed was because people were looking at my car funny. There were no driving differences. Anyway so I immediately pulled over, and noticed that I was leaking transmission fluid. I had my car towed back to my house, and put some more fluid in the transmission. Now here's the weird part. I have driven the Supra since then, just for test purposes, and the leak has not returned. I am in the position to purchase a new transmission, but the problem seems, "to have gone away." Yes I know that sounds really stupid, but I have not seen another DROP of fluid since the episode. Any suggestions as to what is going on here?

don't worry about it and just keep an eye out for any irregular things i had a tranny leak, i put some fluid & stop leak in there and the tranny is solid again

and if the leak comes back, it's probaly just a seal, you dont need a whole new tranny till it quites on yeah..

Wow, well I am definitely glad to know this. Thanks for the info guys.

Okay so I used some of the stop leak, and the leak came back momentarily. What to do now?

Replace the seal/pipe that is leaking.
