Tranny Fluid Leak ??
1993 f150 4.9 4x4. The right motor mount is broken and while moving a camper the motor twisted into the radiator and after the water started to spew, I noticed that I have transmission fluid coming from the inspection cover below the torch converter.
WHAT DAMAGE COULD BE DONE. Could anyone tell me what could have happened?? Is the torch converter broken or the bell housing?? I've never seen this before....
Thanks....

Sounds like the front seal on the transmission is leaking. Sometimes if the truck sits a lot and is not driven, this will leak and then after being driven some it will stop leaking or at least almost stop leaking. After getting the radiator and the mount fixed, need to drive it at least once a week eh?

I have a 92, 4.9 with a 5 speed and I broke a motor mount too. Like fmr9 says the seal is just leaking, keep an eye on your tranny fluid level, do not over fill. It's pretty tough to break a housing even with the torque a 4.9 has. I was lucky, I only twisted mine until the fan crunched the shroud.
