I finally brought my car out of storage today. The car was parked for the last 6 months in the same spot. I noticed that there was some transmission fluid under the car. The day that I stored the car there (back in 0ct-Nov 2004), I had replaced the transmission fluid.
I took the car to the garage immediately afterwards and had the transmission removed from my car. My mechanic noticed that there was a leak was coming from a bolt. Here is a picture:


Has anyone had a leak from the transmission from this bolt? Do I need a new bolt?

I didn't have time to test it. I had to package it up and make all the transport arrangements to ship it to the rebuilder. It was picked up for delivery today. What a relief!

Here are some pics that I was able to take while packaging it up:

The bolt looks like the drain plug for the oil pan. It probably needs a new copper crush washer. Given what the bolt head looks like, it might be a good idea to replace the bolt too.

Perfect! Thanks for your help.

that pic looks like the engine oil sump, not the transmission. Are you sure you weren't leaking engine oil?

Chazola is right. I should've been more clear - that is the ENGINE oil pan, not the transmission oil pan.

Sorry guys, I made a typing mistake. It should have read:
Has anyone had an oil leak from this bolt?

I was tired and made a mistake. You are all right. It is the oil pan in the picture and that is where the leak is from. Initially, I thought the leak was transmission fluid when I looked at the stain on the floor.

Does anyone have the part numbers for the bolt and washer?
