Default small tranny leak

My post disappeared, can I put some kind of stop leak in that won't harm
my '95 SL automatic?

Hard to say. One old trick I used back when I was a full time tech was
taught to me by the guy I apprenticed for. Put a very tiny amount of brake
fluid (not the silicone type) in whatever is leaking. It has the ability to
swell the seals slightly which stops the leak. Most stop leak additives are
nothing really more than that. Bottom line you can try this trick but first
I"d think it would b e wise to find out WHY it's leaking.

I brought it into a trans. repair, the filters were leaking so I had
them replaced. The bill said "replaced spin on filter....new, replaced
cooling line fittings and filled fluid." $200 My Saturn deserves first
class treatment, take care of your car and she will take care of you.

And with hurricane Frances approaching, my Saturn is parked down wind
behind the building. She is less than 2500 lbs and would blow away.
