    So I was checking my transmission fluid today and there was smoke coming g from behind the tb. I think some liquid is getting on the exhaust pipe that goes under the tb. But what?

    Another thing is that the Lim gaskets need to be done and I plan on doing that next week but I don't think the coolant from there could cause this.

    Could it be coolant from the tb?? And have you guys ever heard of this?

    Thanks in advance

    tb can leak coolant, the bottom will be wet, or a vc oil leak. depends on the smell of the smoke.

    if its wet with coolant buy a new gasket, then take it off, clean it and put it back on.
