Alpina_Blue Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Hey guys, bit of a random question here. I was organizing all of my Starion invoices and noticed on one from a recent oil change that the shop noted a "trans fan leak." There was no further detail added, they didn't mention it when I picked the car up and I didn't see the note as I was in rush. I'm not familar with the term "trans fan," haven't noticed any leaks and the car is running great, zero issues. I called the shop but the guy who last worked on my car is on vacation for 2 weeks. For reference I have an 87 with a 5-speed. Any ideas what this is referencing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Trans fan?? Not sure on that. Sounds like there is a leak somewhere though. Automatic or manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 I wonder if they are referring to the pusher fan on the front of the rad. There's no fans over by the trans. Or maybe a leak near the puller fan on the trans side. Hard to know for sure. If it's either of those then it would be a coolant leak - maybe from the rad.

BuGG Posted May 23 Report Share Posted May 23 What if it was a typo? Possibly "Trans Pan Leak". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpina_Blue Posted May 25 Author Report Share Posted May 25 Haha yes, I actually came to the same conclusion after giving it a bit more thought. I’m sure it was just a “fan/pan” typo. Thanks as always guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
