Anyone's tranny leaking? Mine is!

Anyone had problems with their tranny leaking? I came home from a week long trip and found a puddle of tranny fluid under the truck! Didn't notice any problems prior to leaving and of course since the damned tranny is "sealed", I cant check the fluid. I'd say it was a saucer sized diameter puddle. I have no idea what is leaking but a drip none the less.





Any ideas? Thanks!

Sorry for not adding this info - the pic is taken from the passenger side and this leak is at the front right corner of the pan area.

Wow! I wonder how many other people will get the leak. Your leak is in the same area?

Blacknight - holy cow! Thanks for the info and be sure to let me know what the dealer says the problem is - it'll be the middle/end of the week before I can get in.

If everyone followed that logic nobody would ever be driving a new vehicle and Ford would be out of business.

This is why new vehicles come with warranties.

but hey you got to remember the manual says it's sealed for a lifetime and not to worry!! (B.S.) everything these days just seems to have to have an issue...

Let us know how it goes at the dealer.
