924S Question

[nsboxing]

Hi
I am new to the forum and am having a couple of issues with my car, most important is on the passenger side of the engine there is piece of sheet aluminum that runs just below the valve pan cover, just above that are two metal lines, it seems that transmission fluid is leaking from one of these lines, is this possible, I know on normal cars the transmission line goes to the rad is that the same on these cars.

Thanks
Craig

is this an automatic? you probably ought to put some information about your car in your signature line.

Hi, I just fixed the very same problem. Is your 924s an automatic and if so it is indeed tranny fluid. There are 2 hoses and you will have to find which one is the leaker and it can be repaired because I recently did 1 out of 2 of mine. The hose fittings are crimped on but if you are carefull you can just cut the crimp all the way down with a dremil tool with a thin cutting wheel and then insert a screw driver to pry the crimped part wide enough to remove the hose on the metal line. You can use a wrench and remove the other end at the tranny cooler at the radiator and pull the whole hose out and do the same to the other end. I used a drywall screw with a fender washer and attached the other circle end to a piece of wood so I had control with both hands to use the dremel tool with the thin cutting disc for this end as well. I bought 3 feet of power steering hose and ran a clamp on either end and tightened them up with a screw driver and all is well now. Originally I tried to just repair the hose by the engine but the hose is so brittle from the heat it just kept cracking and leaking again. So do yourself a favor and repalce the whole hose the first time out. It only took me a couple of hours to repalce mine and that was getting the parts as well! Good luck and replenish your tranny fluid when done with dextron 3.

Did the same. There is a coupling behind the head if you want to remove it and take it in to some hydraulic hose place. Hard to get the couplers apart with the limited space though.

Thanks for your help and yes it is an automatic
