1)They have flouresent(sp?) dye that can be put in the tranny fluid that shows up under a black light. All dealerships and any respectable shop will have this stuff and that is what it is used for.

2) Air Compartment? I would at least ask what the hell this is! Never heard of it.

The case of the CD4E and all transmissions for that matter, are designed to allow any leaking fluid to flow down the case in a way that would make finding the source of the leak easy. In this case, as in a hole, it would be very plain to see where the fluid was coming from.

Also, there is no relation in the CD4E's case or fluid to the inside of the car. So don't let them take you there.

Just some information for ya. I would ask a lot of questions before I foot a bill for something like this.
