Default Re: Burning Trans fluid

Im not sure if that was a typo about the 2 qts, or you were looking up transfer case levels? The trans itself should hold around 12 qts. bone dry. Transmissions wont burn the fluid like an engine so you have to be leaking fluid somewhere or just not checking it properly.
Like the other guy said, it could be leaking into your radiator. Sometimes trannys will even leak into the transfercase but I haven't seen it too much with the later model gm's.
I would drive it around for about 15-20 minutes and check the level like that. Make sure you check it in park and the fluid level is in the crosshatch.
