Default 85 300d pours tranny fluid

So the other day i was doing the daily running i drove probably 30 miles parked at a station to fill up left it running came out and noticed tranny fluid was coming out in a stead stream i bought more and luckly made it home but have am not sure if i cracked the pump or the torque converter or where to find parts that don't cost more than i paid for the car.

Putting trans fluid in a Benz takes time.You have to wait for the fluid to warm,and run down dipstick hole.If you don't it will over fill,and pump seal will push out.Pan gasket will usally save your pump.Dipstick hole can leak,and modulator.Lets hope so easy fixes,as lines too.

I have only owned the car like a month i drove it home from muncie checked the trans fluid when i got it home and it was fine so i never added any i checked the lines it's pouring from the bell houseing vents. It always felt slugish compared to my 300sd

you might try blowing thru radator trans cooler.I usally disconnect and add a aftermarket cooler.Sometimes lines in rad will rust or worse fill with anti freeze.
