Transmission Leak

[ProjectSparta]

So When I was getting ready to leave to go to work, I noticed when I was backing up a TON of fluid on the pavement. SO I took off the bottom plastic molding and more fluid fell out.



The fluid was red and oily. So I checked the trasmission fluid level, and it was zip. The fluid is shooting out down near the radiatior, bottom right corner, I looked all around there and couldent find were it was comming from, were is the transmission fluid line running?



Sorry I had to go to work and didnt have the time to trouble shoot it. ANy suggestions, or pictures would help so I can fix it when I get home.

If it is near the radiator I would assume it might be one of the cooling lines rusted/rotted through.

I had a similar problem. The hose clamps were loose.

Well there are some lines that run back that are REALLY rusted, there loctated right under the radiatior, But those are fine, Its comming from above that, I cant see what its comming from, its just dripping out.

I'm gessing your tranny cooler lines are leaking. Tranny cooler will be in front of the rad that looks like a smaller rad. Had one go on my old pathfinder at hunting a couple of years ago.....looked like I was the one that got shot. I didnlt think a tranny line could spit fluids to that extent. There was fluids all over the underneath of my hood, through the rad, front bumper. Pretty messy......luckily I noticed early and it didn't kill the tranny.
