Possible sabotage?! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Would a mechanic or salesman at a dealership intentionally overfill a tranny to make it leak in order to deter a buyer from purchasing a vehicle that they want for themselves? If so, I think I pissed someone off. I just bought a 1997 4WD 1500 Suburban that is clean inside and out with 122,000 miles for 1,200 bucks. Has hardly and rust underneath and only one slight tear in the front driver side's blue leather seat. But the tranny is way way overfilled. Its leaking like crazy...definitely easy to see and very noticeable. I bought it from a very large and reputable dealer. It does not make any sense to me unless that person was trying to wait until the perfect time for himself to get the vehicle. Am I correct to assume this?
