black tranny oil , almost always ....

[BrooklynBay]

The line was filled with fluid since the diaphragm was ruptured.

the old v.m was ok (not ruptured) and the oil drained from the tranny hole where the v.m fits , and not from the tube line ,, so , as if the oil is seased some where inside the tranyy and is not circlating during operation (tranny was getting overheated very soon after driving the car )and when i just pulled the v.m the oil got escaped outside ,,the volume of oil which came out is about 3-4 ltrs !,,,?

b.bay ,, waiting for your answer ,,
thanx

Did you remove the modulator immediately after it got over heated? Does it leak even when the fluid is cold?

 

[dr.gandhi]

the car was parked for nearly a month , and there was an oil leakage under the car ( but not so much ) and under the v.m side ,,,so i think it was leaking even when parked and cold , but when i pulled the v.m out , a huge amount came out ...one more note , previously , when i was checking the oil level when the car is off, oil level was very high , and after starting the engine the oil level shows very very low !! so as if the oil is sucked inside somewhere ,,something is wrong in the oil circulation i think causing overheating ,,

The only place that transmission fluid could enter the engine is through the vacuum line which is connected to the vacuum modulator.

b.b , what i mean is that the oil is sucked inside the trany sections not the engine ,because when you switch off engine the level comes back as it was before you start the car ,,,
may be the oil is seased in the torque converter when engine is running , or may be the oil is not circulating back to the place where we can check its level when the car is on , , ,
what do you think ?

You have to check the fluid level with the engine running while it's idling.
