Loosing tranny fluid

97 F350 Powerstroke A/T - Keep loosing transmission fluid, but I don't see any signs of leaks or spots on the drive. Does this transmission have a vaccuum modulator that could have gone bad and is sucking the fluid out? If so, where is it located. Are they hard to change?

Thanks in advance

No modulator valve. Is it 4wd? If so, pull the plug on your transfer case. if fluid comes rushing out, its the rear seal. also ck the torque converter hub seal area, your access pan is fairly easy to remove. any signs of oil, and you got it. Other than those two areas that can "hide" a leak, it has to be leaking externally, or at a cooler
