[QUOTE="PoManNox, post: 23354, member: 8300"] There is no seal washer on the transmission drain plug or level check plug. They are a 1/4" pipe thread and you have to be careful not to overtighten. You can use thread tape or liquid thread sealer on them. It looks like the ATF came from up high. Maybe the shop spilled ATF on top of the transmission when re-filling? I know I did that on my 2021 and it pooled into the nooks and crannies up top on the transmission. I would clean the area up and see if it comes back. Any continual leakage is bad news and needs to be addressed. [/QUOTE]
