burning transmission fluid

[jake the snake]

i have been adding about 1/2 quart of trans fliud every week for a little while now. its burning it right off somewhere. i don't see any leak looking from underneath. i dont really know where to look specifically, but there's no wet spots or anything obvious. anyways, it smokes off the driver's side, almost like its dripping on part of the exhaust. i had a real pain in the arse with the vacuum lines a few months ago, and somebody said something about a trans vacuum line that may cause a leak somehow. i was wondering if anybody knows what i am talking about and how to help me figure out whats going on before i have to take it to some rip-off artist for help.

hey thanks for the advice. the smoke is coming from under the hood though, on the drivers side, in the back, under the "aft-most" spark plug somewhere. it pours out when its really hot.

carefully check the cooler lines ruunning forward to the radiator in that area....
