    if its leaking pink fluid it could be coolant if it turns crusty when it dries.
    then again it could be auto fluid as well.
    We took a look this afternoon and it seems like it is coolant and something else leaking from the gearbox itself.

    Had been thinking of a manual swap for a while, but looking at what else needs doing on it I think I may be better off just buying my own car that needs less money spent on it.

    Dad had tried that one in the past with no luck.
