Tranny Leak

Noticed a leak of what appears to be atf comming from the passenger side front. It seems to be leaking and then dripping down off the front diff. Which leads me to beleive that a line is leaky. Is there anything that is common, or should see what I can find underneath?

Could the dipstick tube be loose? Tranny cooler lines?


Thanks

I would check the powersteering. the cooler lines for the trans run down the passenger side and just under the rad. the area you are talking about is right below the PS pump

yup, make sure the cap is on right, they tend to pop loose from time to time

I thought it was the ps pump too. The guy that drives the truck called me and said it was leaking again, I checked the fluid and was where it was the folowing time i checked. I thought maybe it was leaking out of the vent in the cap, but I dont think it was. The steering has been consistant throughout the leak. I am going to take a look at it today. We got 25" of snow and last night was the first time I got some real sleep.
