I just took delivery of mine. I know their used, but you would think they would clean them up just a touch. When I sell used stuff I try to at least make it look decent. Where is your leak coming from? You think it was from shipping? Was noise in FWD gears due to the fluid leak causing the level to drop too ow? That would be a significant leak to drain enough fluid to cause that on a short test drive. I've never had one of these out of the car. I was surprised at how skinny the output shaft is.
