Car Forum / Subaru Cars / May 2008Transmission uses oil
My 1986 Subaru is using transmission oil, but does'nt seem to leak out onto the ground. The engine oil level is high and I think the transmission oil is entering into the engine. The coolant level is good and clear. There was white smoke comming out of the tail pipe when I put new coolant in the transmission. After driving around, the smoke went away. It only smokes when applying power on hills. What can be the cause od this? > My 1986 Subaru is using transmission oil, but does'nt seem to leak out onto > the ground.

What can be the cause od this? Can you restate your question? I'm confused as to whether the radiator is losing coolant or not. Usually, white smoke is coolant, black smoke is gasoline and blue smoke is oil. Carl  Signatureto reply, change ( .not) to ( .net) Replace the vacuum modulator on the transmission. It has ruptured an intake manifold vacuum is now pulling the ATF from the transmission - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.subaru More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm Carl, the collant is ok antifreeze clear and level good. I put new transmission oil in the transmission because it was empty, or a least below the stick. While doing this with engine hot and running white exhaust came out the tail pipe. I then checked the engine oil and it was a inch or two above the fill mark. It also looked brownish black. The oil was recently changed so it should have been clean and at the right level. After the transmission oil was brought above the add oil level and the car driven for a few days, the level is low again. But there is no oil on the ground where the car is paeked. Can the Transmission oil get into the Engine? Thanks, Keith >> My 1986 Subaru is using transmission oil, but does'nt seem to leak out onto >> the ground.

The Automatic transmission "Modulator" valve has a hole in its diaphram. It's literally sucking tranny fluid into the intake manifold. Change the modulator valve.... Thanks, I'll figure out what it looks like and where it is and replace. Thanks again, Keith >> Carl, the collant is ok antifreeze clear and level good.

If there is one, pull the hose from it. It should be DRY. Any oil means a bad modulator diaphragm which WILL cause fluid burning ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** |
