Transmission problem
1997 Saturn SC1 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My transmission is leaking somewhere near the filter. I have changed the filter when I thought that was the problem. There is sometimes a whinny noise like the tranny has low fluid until I get to higher gears or I been driving awhile. However that's also when it leaks the most. As long as the fluid doesn't get too low it operates normally.

So where's the fluid coming from?There's really no where for fluid to leak in that area except the filter,sensors,or the cooler lines.Is it a fast leak?Can you spray off fluid with brake cleaner and watch were it's leaking from?Let me know.
