Bought same exact cheap little pump...8 ounces and a steady drip current situation. We have hope.

Fluid looks beat up too

Which fluid had you used last time, Rich?  Isn't it a bit early for it to give up?  Looking forward to pics :)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Royal purple...checked it prior to opening day for Milan Dragway and it looked pretty good for color. Looks completely black now.

Aren't their products supposed to change color once put into operation?  Purple color gives way to black/honey whatever the base fluid is supposed to be?

Same hose I had success with last year. Small diameter rubber hose. It's definitely getting in there. I can remove and wipe clean, then get another 3" of fluid on it each time.

More than likely a pump issue then

As usual...lol

Pulled just over 12 ounces plus maybe 2 in mess. Got 15 back in before it started to ooze back out.

It's done, the hard way this time.

This one was 17k, going 15k interval next.

The little whine I could hear when coming to a stop is gone, again.

I was locally took to the cleaners at Romeo Auto parts. I post pic and get texts of discounts next time. At the arm & a leg price I paid,  still worth it IMO.

Hear me out on this before you say no way, but have any of you tried using a flush solvent in the PTU, and put the vehicle in drive for a minute or two while on jack stands to help break up the sludge?  And then remove the solvent/old fluid and replace with new fluid?

I'm getting a blown up PTU from the local dealer to figure out about drilling a hole and tapping to put a drain plug in the damn thing.  If I can do it and make it easy I will do a write up.

It's already been done & a write up as well.

I'll post the link once I get home (unless someone beats me to it).

I have it saved in my favorites tab on the communal laptop on the kitchen island.
