Made a short run to get lumber yesterday and when I got home the truck smelled hot I checked it out and found a transmission oil leak at the rear of the transmission in front of the transfer case. can not really see what is leaking only has 22,000 miles anyone else have this problem or know what may have happen.

 

Welcome to the forum, ford48! I'd get this in front of your dealership so they can check things out. Once you get a diagnosis, come back and post your results. I'll be able to look into ways to assist once your dealer has taken a look.

I already have a appointment to get latest recall 14E03 on the 11th I had planned to see if they could check the transmission leak while it was there.


THANKS

 

Good idea, ford48. Be sure to come back and tell us how things went. I'll be here if you need any help.

just got back from having the truck check out, they found transmission oil pan bolts loose and tighten them, they made note to check on next service.


I am going to wash down when its warm enough to do so with out everthing under there turning to ice and keep a eye on it.


First new Ford truck I have ever owned did not want to think I was going to have problems with it. I have had quit a few used ford truck with little or no problems, just did not want my retirement truck to be different.


THANKS Crystal for your response that made me feel better.

 

You're quite welcome, ford48! If you have any questions or concerns in the future, I'll be here.

Well Truck transmission is still leaking have an appointment in the morning to check it again. I had clean the oil off and was keep a check and got under it and had oil dripping again looks likes it coming from above the oil pan. Just thought I would keep you informed.

 

They might have to pull the transfer case off to see where the leak is.


You still have powertrain warranty.


Hope it is just a seal in there.

 

Let's get this into the hands of your regional customer service manager, ford48. PM me the details, including your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, current mileage, and servicing dealership. I'll do the rest.

This time they are saying the leak is coming form the tail shaft not the pan and have ordered gasket and seal will call when they come in to set up repair date.

Tell them to put you in a rental, and keep the truck for a few days to verify it has been repaired. This is nonsense on the dealer's part.
