5R55S Leaking...

[Pumpkinfish]

Need a little help guys. I had my torque converter changed for a Circle D. The shop that did the work had done trans work for me in the past with no issues.

After driving the car and getting the fluid hot, the next morning I will see a very small puddle under the car which I thought should flow up into the catch can then go back into the trans after it cools. This time, we can't find the source of the leak. They opened the access panel on the bottom of the bell housing, and everything inside was dry. The only thing the shop has done so far was to take out some fluid as the tech who installed the convertor put a little too much trans fluid in. I'm trying to get some ideas to present to the shop so I can get this fixed. They are working with me, but I just want to get this resolved.

I have a deep trans pan along with a JDM Catch Can installed.

I can't get a picture of it, but the drip is coming from the bell housing right at the access panel. The leak is not at the pan at all. I do know they put three quarts of trans fluid in with the swap. How much fluid should the Circle D have compared to the stock converter?

3 quarts sounds like a lot for the convertor I thought it was about 1&1/2 to 2.

 

[Pumpkinfish]

Me too. They took out 1 quart so far.

I would run your hand along the vent line and make sure that tube is dry all the way to the catch can.
