Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After my 30,000 mile major maintenance, i noticed a leak on the the driver side front of the car. i took it back to the dealer and they said it was a transmission oil leak. it was under the $100 deductible warranty so i paid the $100 and they "fixed" it. the leak continued after 3 other attempts to fix it over a 6 month period. it is currently in the dealer shop to be fixed and they say they can't find the leak. they now think it's coming from the "top". since i don't monitor the transmission fluid level, my concern is that i will have a major failure the may cause an accident and/or injury if the transmission fails. also, the car is kept in my garage during extended times when i'm out of town and there is a considerable puddle when i return. i'm assuming that the transmission oil is flammable so there is some concern there. the dealer has been cooperative but seems to lack guidance and how to fix it. *tr
