Got a persistant problem.

Got 422,000 miles on my truck. And I have serviced the transmission on a regular basis. In November, I had the transmission serviced, and the front and rear differential fluid changed and the transfer case. I have been noticing a few drops on the carport and was worried if it was the rear main seal. Well, I was in the hospital for a few days and the truck sat from Wednesday evening and Saturday, there was a puddle under the truck. Red fluid. It has happened before and that's why I had the transmission serviced. I have not gotten anybody (mechanic) to look at it yet but is there anything in particular that might need to be changed or could it be that 6 months out, it might need to be tightened or check the bolts. But since it sat for 3 days and not moved, any ideas? It is definitely transmission fluid.

Thank you in advance.

Thats some miles!

It could be something simple like the trans pan gasket is leaking or maybe a leaking input or output shaft seal. Can you get under the truck and take a look? This could also be coming from a transfer case seals as well. Lotta places to leak and enough miles on the truck to warrant these leaks. How is the trans fluid level? Check the transfer case too.
