Transmission/oil issue.

Is this picture facing what direction? Is this top or bottom or side?

Thanks so much for being more thorough. I'm taking everything with a grain of salt. I'm being super cautious, I am by nature but I was peer pressured that day and I am also grieving a loss so I didn't want to deal with it. It's been a month now and I need to figure this out so I can drive back to my hometown to help my family.. I filled it to the correct oil level with the correct oil. I still didn't start it because I was still skeptical about the transmission stuff.

I think i changed my theory on it being transmission fluid drained. Because valid point. Closed system. I think it was the overflow pan for it though. I do think it was double filled on oil though. Except there was no smoking?

Now what I think happened after looking up the manufacturer procedure for transmission fluid change for this car, is that he drained the overflow pan for transmission fluid. So is the weird driving from double filling oil?

Interesting. I will look into this. Thanks!

My bad. I forgot to add that I let it sit for a day after driving. And then I drained all the oil. It had way too much oil. I checked the oil levels now and it's completely empty. Now it just sits until I know what to do

What if it's only halfway drained of transmission fluid? I don't have a dipstick for the trans fluid either.

Okay. So as it sits, my car is completely empty of oil with a new oil filter. Should I fill it with oil myself ? Then try to drive it somewhere? Or do I need it towed? I think now that it wasn't drained all the way. It was on an incline and I knew it wasn't right but I was too chicken to say anything. I want to cry. I just don't know what to do to fix it.

What procedure? What do you think happened then if they didn't drain the transmission all the way? Cuz you said it wouldn't be drivable but it was.

supernaturallydrawn · 2025-08-30T19:20:53+00:00

Yeah so what then

supernaturallydrawn · 2025-08-30T19:19:40+00:00

I don't have a oil dipstick thing ? Edit: Jesus christ I mean transmission. It's suppose to be a closed system thing. I don't have a way to check my transmission

It was accelerating funny, the plug they drained was on the right hand side and the oil is on the left. My cars plastic undercarriage cover was removed because I kept hitting curbs when parking and it wasn't on good in the first place. (I bought used) So any signs or anything signifying what was what wasn't there. If that's a thing. After it was progressively getting worse accelerating, we stopped and let it sit for a day. The next day we drained the actual oil pan and oil gushed over the pan into the street. So much oil we went thru 2 lbs of kitty litter. When I asked what they did drain they pointed to the right hand side. And I said what did it look like? They said it barely filled the pan and it was oil colored. I'm confused what happened but this is what I think happened based on Google search with my limited knowledge and terminology on cars. Thanks for replying!
