Car Forum / Volvo Cars / March 20061991 240 Automatic Transmission leak
All was going well with my lovely 240 (US) untill the past week. Sure I was leaking the quart of trans fluid every two weeks or so. But, in the last week the fluid has come gushing out of it-3 qts a day and hits the exhaust creating horrific smoke . It leaks like there is no end. Surely, there is, like the end of the trans. I see it dripping off a metal line from directly below. I have resigned myself to the worse case scenario-that is- a used or rebuilt trans. Okay, I guess I have a shop check for leakage source? Also, how do I know if the trans has the notch for the crank sensor or not unless it is removed form the car first? Advance thanks > All was going well with my lovely 240 (US) untill the past week.

The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as long as I live, nor should any American. > All was going well with my lovely 240 (US) untill the past week.

Sounds like the cooling line has cracked, it tends to happen right near where it bolts to the frame under the car. I fixed one of these once by cutting out the cracked section, flaring the ends and patching in a piece of power steering hose. >> All was going well with my lovely 240 (US) untill the past week.

(if it's similar to my '83...) then another place to look is the speedo drive where it attaches to the tranny. Mine broke off (thanks to a broken tranny mount) and dumped fluid. ymmv. > Speedometer still working? > (if it's similar to my '83...) then another place to look is the speedo > drive where it attaches to the tranny.
