oh it leaked bad about 2 yrs ago in the summer when i was pullong a small camper but i thought it was coming out the dipstick tube. to cold to crawl under it now and its so wet.under there, also truck has been babied. in excellent shape and never off road or abused. not driven often as i drive my tracker with 34 in tires all the time. truck gave no previous sign of trans problem. just driveing one day in the city amd she started shiffting hard from 1-2 and engine had to rev to get it in gear. a few years ago was shiffting hard from all gears and that was a bad vss. but no other signs
