    Okay, so here is the deal, I have a 2004 Grand Prix natural asp 3.8L v6. Now there is this sound that sounds like a whirling type of sound, and I think my car is leaking transmission fluid because it does not smell like oil and this sound has gotten louder over the course of a week.
    Any Ideas?

    Turns out it was power steering, at least I think, because when I checked the steering fluid it was near empty which explains the sound, but now the power steering is leaking steadly. Any ideas on what this can be, and I believe this thread needs to be moved =P

    If the ps is leaking, you should check to see if all of the o-rings are good.
