Hey guys.
So I ended up buying my first car this week, all seems to be great except one thing -which happens to be that there is a leak under the front of the car.
It's a 2001 Sunfire Coupe SE with the 2.2L engine.
A friend of mine checked it out and said that since the fluid is a reddish color and my antifreeze is no where near where it's leaking from then it's the transmission. He's not a mechanic but happens to know a good amount about cars.
Based on what he told me, I came home and googled quite a bit to see costs related to a transmission leak but found none that are really Sunfire specific so I decided to come here.
My question is -Is it possible to give me an idea of the cost of a repair like this is for a Sunfire.
And just for your information the car runs perfectly, no problems shifting, no transmission slips, the transmission itself seems to be fine. It has 125, 000 Km on it (75-80,000 Miles), no rust, everything seems great except for this one problem.
Tried to give you as much info as I could being new to the car world and all. All input is welcomed, thanks in advance !
P.S I'm bringing the car to Midas on Monday but I'm just trying to get a heads up before I go.
