Leaky Tranny V6 Auto

Has anyone had the auto dipstick tube leak where it goes into the tranny case? This is a 2007 F150 V6 Auto.

Yeah those tubes are plastic with (maybe) a rubber seal at the bottom where they connect to the tranny. I'd source a new one as yours is likely cracked. Worth pulling and checking to see if I'm right though.

Actually I think it's metal. I took it in last week. The dealer didn't have the o ring in stock so I preordered it so I wouldn't have to come back. Told them it was the tranny tube that was leaking. A hour later the mechanic walks into the waiting room with the oil dip stick tube and my O ring and says I ordered the wrong o ring...... Oh boy. Why the guy removed the oil dip stick when it was dry as a bone I have no idea.

Ended up my tranny dip stick didn't have the o ring on it. Job 1 was lacking that day.

Man you'd think that the dealership mechanic would know the difference between oil and tranny fluid. That's scary.
