2004 fx4 losing transmission fluid
2004 fx4 losing tranmission fluid. I checked for leaks and found none. I followed owners manual when checking fluid on dip stick. Run truck 20 miles , on level surface , with motor running. I have replaced fluid with one quart and half and I still found no visual of fuild on stick. I check the transfer case , it seems over full , I drain out about a pint from it. Could transmission fluid be leaking into the transfer case?
Thanks Rockyray1

Welcome to FTE!!
I'm sure someone knows for sure if the fliud can enter the transfer case or not. but. IMO, I don't think it can. i would keep adding fluid to the trans until the level is correct. running with a low level of fluid is very bad on the 4w75E trans. The heat buildup shortens it's life quickly. And, i thought the trans case took different fluid?
