The final bill came to $3874 but that included around $550 for unrelated oil pan gaskets and O2 sensors so the trans works with taxes came in around $3324. It still seems strange that there wasn't more fluid all over the trans but they were sure convincing and confident there was a leak in the case. I also noticed a charge for oil dye so I assume they were either smart enough to include that or they did actually use it to see the leak source. If I had thought of it when I was there trying to see the pinhole then I would have had them shine the black light, or whatever, on the fluid in the compartment to see the "glow" or whatever it indicates in the fluid. I simply didn't analyze my options very well as I made each mistake.
