All,

I just recently did a Transmission service (drop pan, replace filter) with AMSOIL and it fixed my intermittent hesitation during acceleration!.... yay....

Now, everytime I sit idle, with the heat on, all I can smell in the cabin is transmission fluid and Its terrible. It has been 2,500 miles since the service but the smell is the same. I had it on the lift three days ago and ran it while on the lift. There are no leaks to be seen and the fluid level remains the same. I made sure it was all cleaned off when I performed the work and there are no signs of leakage anywhere.

Anyone else experience this problem? am I just stupid? what am I missing here?
