i brought my car in to tthe stealership for an oil leak. i fixed that and since i got it back theres all of a sudden a new oil leak by the transmission. before i brought my car into the dealership there was never oil leaking from this spot....could they have possibly have messed up my car on purpose??

I doubt they caused any leak on purpose. Where exactly is the leak coming from? Do you have any pics?

What you are describing sounds like the seal on the wrist pin cover aka rear seperator cover. I highly doubt that they would purposely mess with it being they have to either remove the engine or transmission to get to it.

Then again, It could be something else leaking.

Is it trans fluid or oil? If its trans fluid when is the last time you had it changed?

im not sure if its transmission fluid or oil. idk how to distinguish between the two. never changed the transmission fluid, but im going to do it soon because i am about to reach 30,000 miles.
