TC-SST Leaking?

TC-SST Leaking?
I found a puddle of fluid in the plastic skid plate when I was changing my oil and I thought it was oil at first because I was over a quart low (who the hell knows why I was over a quart low in a matter of 3000 miles) and there was a LOT under there but it didn't smell like oil so I ruled that out quickly.
So I dropped the car off Friday and got a call Saturday morning saying that it wasn't oil it was transmission fluid and it was leaking a lot form the side and that they called their Mitsu hotline and weren't allowed to touch the car until they heard back from them on Monday.
I really hope they don't end up keeping my car for the rest of the year. haha
Just though I'd give everyone a heads up and check for a fluid leak dripping from their tranny.

Yeah, we found the same thing when we installed my SSP cooler + pan. We were originally thinking that the gasket on the transmission cover had started seeping, but after draining the transmission and pulling the pan, there was a very small section of the cover with a deflection in it - exactly where the leak was. While this was not the first time my mechanic had seen the leak, it was the first time he'd had the opportunity to pull the cover to get a better look.
Do keep us informed of what happens with this.

I got a phone call back from the dealer saying that it is normal to burn over a quart of oil in 3000 miles? Really?
They also said that they have the transmission opened up and sitting on a table waiting for a call back from corporate and my car is sitting in their overnight parking. Greeeeeat let it sit in the 110 degrees its going to be today.
They said that they would call me again as soon as they hear from corporate.

I went down to the dealership today and they took me back to my car and put it on the lift and showed me that it is leaking from the transmission filter housing right at the end of the inlet and outlet lines. They said that the mold was wrong and it wasn't a perfect seal.

Noticed an oil drip in the garage from my 2010 ralliart. Took it in today and they said it was a cracked trans filter housing. New one on order covered by warranty. Will post up when problem fixed.
