Our 2004 has about 9,000 mi. on it. We just returned from a 3,000 mi. trip and I noticed an oil leak on the garage floor. Taking a peek under the engine/transmission area I noticed bright red txmsn fluid around the txsmsn pan.
This is one of those "Never have to service the transmission" systems so there's no visible dipstick to check the fluid level.
Since it's still on warranty it's going into the shop ASAP but it's still going to be a pain in the azz.
Anyone else ever hear of this on a new rig?
After another, closer look it appears the fluid is coming from the front of the bell housing, NOT the txsmn pan. Fluid is dripping, (lightly) from the cross brace under the bell housing.
Scheduled for service check tomorrow afternoon. Service rep says they hook it up to some sort of analyzer to determine the fluid level. Great timing right in front of the weekend, huh?
