Back to normal?

Whats up guys! So last week i used my excursion to pull my dunebuggie, really doesnt weigh much but i was upstate so the road was hilly. i was in a hurry so i wasnt driving like i was pulling a car all of a sudden i hear a pop and i see a white cloud of smoke behind me, i pull over look under the hood i smell oil, I look under the truck i see oil everywhere. I let her cool off for a few, I checked all my fluids, didnt need any oil. ohh and i also ran over a peice of glass and my tire was leaking air (side wall) sucked to be me that day. So i drove home cleaned it all off and its not leaking anymore. What would you guys do? Chance it and leave it like that? or do the seal? also feels a little weird my RPMs feel like they dont go down when im coming to a stop. Thanks guys! have a nice weekend!

Sounds like your tranny overheated thus puking oil out of the dip stick or or of the tranny seals.

Welcome Jimmy! Please give us the info on your rig's setup. It's usually best to go into settings and construct a signature which describes your X and any modifications.
