Hello,
I have a 2006 chevy cobalt ls 2.2L, i have a sealed trans that i dont believe has ever been serviced for its life of 175k miles. I noticed the transmission pan has a slow leak/drip to it. My natural thought is “oh the trans pan is leaking i’ll just drain the pan and replace the gasket correcting the leak and while im at it i might as well get a new filter for it as well. every one i tell this to warn me not to touch it and that if i do it will have problems. should i replace the gasket? should i add a little fluid to it and just have it leak on my driveway? is there something i can add to it like a stop leak? what is the best course of action? thank you
