ATF leak?
for turkey day, took a road trip from san diego to prescott arizona to see the inlaws. when we got there, noticed the cruiser was dripping a small amount (several small drops) of trans fluid. the leak slowed the longer the car was parked, but started up again when driven. i checked the fluid level and it remained full, i did not have to add more. it was serviced a month before the trip (including atf change) and was not doing this before we left. since we have been back, there is no leak. the trip was about 400 miles each way, mostly flat except two passes, and we went from sea level to over 5000 ft. father in law thought that the altitude and temp changes caused it. just wanted to know if others have experienced this, or if things like altitude and temp can do this. i'm going to the dealer for an oil change and want him to check it out, but wanted the opinions of the experts here before i talk with him! thanks!
