LOL, no kidding, but if this was a garden variety "ive been driving it and now it leaks" thing, no problem.
But isnt it just a bit off that it has leaked recently due to sitting?
Of course searching for the source is going to be the approach. But Im a bit frustrated with this car right now, and I just got it moving - not even enough time to investigate the stuff.
Wouldnt you be surprised if a car that you own which has never dropped a drip in its life all of a sudden has a red puddle underneath, but hasnt moved in a year?
The phenomena associated with that to me is what is of interest. I doubt the dipstick tube vibrated out of the AT due to sitting...
