I would report this to your insurance company. The body shop should have made sure your vehicle was mechanically sound before releasing it to you. Take it to the repair shop that they designate, or if you have a mechanic that you trust, see if the insurance will approve them to look at it and make repairs. If the transmission is leaking because of your accident, the insurance should cover this. I would not drive your vehicle until you can be sure it is fully repaired.

Jeffy lube is the last place to trust. Take it to some reputable shop. Do you see a puddle under the vehicle ater overnight parking?

Do NOT trust anything JiffyLube says. Find a neighborhood mechanic and have your oil changes done there. He will get to know your car and advise you on what NEEDS to be done, not what will make money for the business.

Do you see any puddles under the vehicle after it has been sitting for awhile? If so, and it is a big puddle, don't drive it until you determine the cause of the leak. No puddle, no problem, just JiffyLube looking to hustle you.
