Tiptronic Transmission
Had new read tires installed yesterday and see small amount of what appears to be transmission oil on the under carriage pan. The transmission was serviced with new filter and oil change approximately 10 thousand miles ago a d no issues with shifting etc.
Is there a recommend seasonal repair or possibly a sealing application for the problem and is it safe to continue to drive??
I for got to mention that it has just turned 65 thousand miles.
Thanks so much for any input out there.

Hard to say without looking but most likely the transmission pan gasket.

 

Take it to McIlvain (www.mcilvainmotors.com) right by Sky Harbor Airport. They will look at it for free and even show it to you on the lift. They're very reasonable and easy to deal with. They did the service on my tip when I had one.

 

Thanks! Will Do.

 

Clicked on this thread as I wanted to know what your turbo problem had to do with oscilloscopes and logic analyzers... Only to find out it was likely just auto-correct.

 

Color printers back in the late 80's

 

Also saw tektron in the subject line and thought of the of the bygone era when I used o'scopes for testing/troubleshooting.

 

Get it checked, drive it as little as possible until you do.

Tip transmissions have built self-preservation software. Stop driving it if the car goes into neutral (no power to the wheels) with the gear sector in "drive" this means the fluid has become too low.
