Please help
I have a 1977 f100 custom with a 302ci and a c4 tranny. Just had the tranny rebuilt last week and new motor mounts and tranny mount also. Picked the truck up yesterday and it drove fantastic. approximately an hour later, the truck began to smoke....alot. I began heading towards my house, just in case, and the tranny began to slip. I could hear the fluid pouring out from under the truck.....thats when it got really bad. The truck began smoking really badly, I couldnt see behind me. I parked the truck at my house and popped the hood. I had tranny fluid coating my engine. It was dripping from everywhere. Don't know what to do or what could have cause this?

tranny fluid?
Can you tell where the fluid is coming from. dipstik tube or tranny lines from side? You said fluid all over engine so I'm thinking tranny lines up to radiator might be broke or radiator has a whole in it possibly. Need more info. On the tranny slippin is because fluid was leakin out and eventually will slip once fluid level is to low. Talk to you later and I'll check in later.

Can't tell where the fluid is coming from, but the dipstick had been pushed out approximately 2 inches and when I mentioned that I could hear the fluid pouring out. It seeemed to be boiling out of the over flow on top of the tranny.
