Re: IML: Transmission leak

["Dave" <Wilkerbeast01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Want a really goofy suggestion? I saw a device in a parts store that could 
be a help. It is a shallow pan, with a pad of absorbent material in it and 
support wires at the four corners. Yes, you hang the pan under the cat at 
the leak, by attaching the support wires to the engine/transmission. I would 
assume it could blow off or swing and bang, but it could keep your garage 
floor cleaner. Just an idea.
