...fluid.? I do not know if the loose cap to the fluid is the reason for its leaking, but the vehicle is shifting poorly and rather spiraticly. When i finally found the cap to the fluid it was near some leaked fluids (trans fluid i assume due to the orange-y red color) and was loose. these vehicles do not have a dipstick for the trans fluid, and all information points to a dealership or servicer for this job. Im just too broke to bring it anywhere and i'd rather pay for a quart or two of "Dexron III".
 
Most likely the transmission needs service, when transmission fluid starts to leak the most of the time it is from the pan gasket, that means it is time to service it in most cases, the parts are around $45.00 and not hard to do but can be a mess to do. The cost of the service will be cheaper than keep putting fluid in it in the long run and save a potential transmission problem, And get a dip stick for it so you can keep a check on it. God bless
