In regards to your question, it depends. First of all, are you sure it's tranny fluid leaking? If so, where it is leaking from? A tranny cooler line? If so, then it was an installation error and the mechanic should cover the tow because it's his error. If it's leaking from somewhere that's NOT installation related and more related to the rebuild, then it's not your mechanic's fault and he shouldn't have to eat it. He could, however, make a case to the rebuilder and maybe they'll own up to it.
I hope your luck changes, my friend!

Thanks, Pipe.
The fluid was gushing out fron the same spot it did last October: from between where the transmission and engine are mated. When I looked underneath it was clear it was an October repeat. It was a sickening feeling.
Mt wife met the mechanic... and found him "personable, polite, and real". I'm hoping he remains so when I phone him at 8A, Pacific, this morning. I'm certain the car will be absent the driveway and on its way back to Riverside sometime this morning.
