okay I'm really starting to think this car has gremlins....i had my mechanic check the car out, he pulled the transmission dipstick out and that checked out fine, put it back in, didn't think anything of it, few days later i find the dipstick half out with transmission fluid everywhere, put it back in and assumed the mechanic didn't push it in all the way...i go check it today and its back out? I know i pushed that thing all the way in...is this unusual or is it a fairly common thing for these to just get old and shrink?
