Why does my car still smell like transmission fluid?

Asked by erichw1504 (26448points) February 7th, 2011

My 2001 Dodge Neon constantly smells like transmission fluid since I had it changed about 5 months ago. It only smells when the car is on and sitting still, otherwise while driving the odor is pushed back. I have gotten used to it for the most part, but when I stop at a light for a while it gets real bad.

What could be causing this? How can I get it fixed? Could the fumes from transmission fluid be hazardous to my health? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
