CHANNGED BATTERY TWO WEAKS LATER IT WAS DEAD AGAIIN COULD YOU HELP ?OR IS IT SALVAGE TIME

Answer
Tony,

The transmission could be leaking in any number of places. Without me physically going over each spot I cannot give you a definite answer.

If the battery is leaking all of the fluid out and constantly dying with a replacement then you may have a faulty alternator.

To me both of these problems sound minor and shouldn't cost more then a few hundred dollars to have assessed and fixed.

Tony, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask . Don't forget to rate my response to you .


Cheers ,
