Just driving, when I pull into a gas station to pump gas and all of a sudden a gentleman tells me, hey your car just leaked all the transmission oil. I said it was running fine, and I looked under the car and didn't see any oil. So he takes me to the back of the car and there was oil all over my car and a huge puddle of oil under the car. I purchased some tranny fluid and poured it in the car and it went right through pouring out so I put more tranny fluid and tried to drive it home because it still drove normally was shifting and driving but only for about 3 miles by then all tranny fluid had leaked out and just wouldn't go anymore, so I had to have the car towed home.
After that I put $75 worth of oil in it to drive it to work and it drove but I had to keep stopping to put oil in the tranny. A mechanic checked it and said its the main seal gasket that needs to be replaced because its not retaining the fluid at all.
My friend has a 2009 Impala and the same problem. My other friend has a 2011 and same problem.
