I have a 2004 Volvo s80 T6 with the 2.9 liter engine w/turbo ..
and has the 4 speed automatic w/geartronic option ,
I have a pretty bad leak coming from the transmission only leaks
when car isn't running , also if I park car facing down hill it will not leak
when Firestone had car on lift looked like it was coming from dipstick tube at the base of transmission .... but was hard to tell since fluid was dripping
close to my eyes and I think Firestone employees were in a hurry to get the car off the lift....

What's going on here and has anyone else had any problems like mine..
car also has 208,000 miles but I think transmission was replaced at one point..
the transmission shifts nice and strong no slipping but when level is low and a hard stop
is needed it will jerk I want to get leak fixed soon as possible as I know the damage
that can be caused by low fluid levels ..

any help or advice would be appreciated (live in Pittsburgh area )

thank you

 

Just a update, Found leak was coming from Transmission dipstick tube
at the base , the o-ring was cracked , and had form a gasket around it,
who ever worked on this car before me screwed up on a simple task,
to make sure that it would never leak from there again ,
I bought a kit which updates the o-ring type tube to a boot type
bottom with new boot seal.... problem solved (it did put up a bit
of a fight but it went in)
