Well I have an issue that cylinder 1 is misfiring on my 03 mercury sable. Pulled it in garage a week ago and it has been parked there. Put a new coil pack on as I thought that was the issue. Started car yesterday and misfire not as bad but still there. Now going to change the plug wire and see if it goes away.
Went out and saw a large puddle under car. Wiped it with a paper towel and it's red transmission fluid. Wonder why it just decided to start leaking. Puddle is about 5-6 feet long and 1 foot wide so a fairly large leak not just dripping. Looks like it's coming from the pan area leaking near the oil plug so initially I thought it was oil. will jack it up and take a look later once it cools down some. Think it's the tranny pan gasket most likely. It was serviced prior to my purchase of vehicle by Valvoline Quick Stop. Not sure how they did it yet.
