I have changed my transmission fluid and filter myself. Well it was leaking so I took it to my mechanic and he thought he had it fixed well, he didn't so he looked at it again. Thinks he's got it. Well today I notice I'm low on fluid and I haven't noticed any leaking. BUT when I add fluid I see some dip on the ground but not from around the pan. It looks like it is from the dip stick. SO can anyone tell me where the dip stick goes into the transmission at?

Sorry so long.

Thanks in advance.

And yes, I did look to try to find it but didn't see anything.

Ok would it be toward the front or the rear? The fluid is come from about where the front o2 sensor is on passenger side.
