My 3 speed automatic seems to be leaking about 5 ounces of fluid each 250 miles or so. I keep adding it as needed to keep it in the operating range. Other than the mess on my garage floor is there a risk to the transmission in doing this? I've put 4000 miles on the vehicle since last August when I bought it. It shifts well but it does take a second or two to engage reverse. I have changed the pan gasket but that didn't solve the issue.

As long as you keep filling it the risk to the trans is minimal, ( but IMO still unacceptable) but your garage floor and the general enviorment is still at risk! you should really try and find the leak and fix it. A lot of the autos leak at the shift mechanism on the passenger side of the trans. Clean the area thouroughly and keep an eye on it.

it also could be one of the hoses that goes to the bottom of the radiator check them out to.

My 3 speed auto has been leaking it's whole life, I think it's just the way they are.
I have 290,000 miles on mine, and it's never been out of the truck, and It also takes
it's time going into reverse, always has

Wild, any idea what rate yours leaks at? My 90 also leaked but not as much as this one does.

About a quart every 1000 miles
