Good morning Spook. I see that you are online so I thought I might request your advice on a solenoid leak from the automatic transmission. The garage found it for me. It has been going through a litre of fluid in the space of a month's normal driving.

I had the car in for a check pursuant to a possible drive to the southern USA. The muffler is shot and the front motor mounts were collapsed enough that the mount was banging on the crossmember. I gave that last job to the garage but am considering my muffler options.

The mechanic found the leak using a kind of dye and I thought I might be able to deal with the solenoid myself.Does the solenoid need to be replaced completely or is there an o ring or something like that that could be installed. Transmission is working fine, just losing fluid through this component.

Are there any potential difficulties with solenoid replacement/repair that I should be considering? It seems to be in a relatively open space and available to wrenches, etc., but this is looking at it on the garage's hoist, not from underneath the car with everything dropping onto my head.
