    Vaccum leak hissing noise while changing gears

    Hello guys, I recently bought a 2004 explorer 4.0 with the 5r555 transmission. My old '99 threw a rod on a sad note. :( Anyhow since I've had this truck I've noticed that 1st through 3rd gear seems to sometimes shift okay, and other times slightly jerk into gear.

    Wet driver floorboard

    I have noticed for the past few months that my front driver floorboard has been getting wet when it rains.

This isn't constant, I also smell it sometimes when I pull up in my drive way and i'm about to shut the truck off. I've had the gas lines checked, and the fuel filter looked...
