Trans leaking

Well today I cleaned of the under side of the truck today after I had a o ring on the turbo go bad. So I cleaned everywhere under the truck off with simple green so everything was all clean. So I get home and look and see a little wet stuff on the inspection plate and I put my finger to it and its red I start the truck up it is dumping out trans fluid out of the inspection cover. So I pop it off and this is what I see.

Any suggestions guys? T/C seal, T/C, trans seal? Throw some stuff out there for me. Thanks

Nick, your video isn't playing. Have you towed any big loads lately, or backed up a trailer and got the tranny nice and hot?

Looks just like mine when the TC decided to destroy itself. The TC itself wasn't cracked that I know of, unless it was near the snout. It almost looks like the front seal had gone bad in the trans, only upon removal the TC sounded like a box of rocks rattling around. Ended up with a new trans out of that deal.

Has the leak stopped? Or does it still leak like that?
Mine was fine one minute and the next it was leaking like a sieve. Trans was never any warmer than 190 and only briefly there too.

This weekend at Sacramento Raceway, I think you jinxed yourself when you said all three trucks were for once, running ok with nothing being wrong!

Damn Nick, sorry bro!

I have that call in to JW for you too.

What did you ever find out about the tranny leak? Mine is doing the exact same thing. On the day I noticed, I drove unloaded about 350 miles, and the same day returned I towed a 6,000# camper. Once home in the driveway, I saw a huge puddle of tranny fluid, gauge never moved, tranny never slipped. Just this mysterious puddle, so I haven't had time to do any investigating yet, just got her parked in the driveway...
