While changing oil on our 03 Explorer Sport with the 5R55E
transmission...I noticed a bit of a leak from the vicinity of
where the transmission fill tube enters the transmission.
Looked thru the service manual and I was able to find that
you can remove the upper portion of the fill tube by removing
the bracket that attaches to the exhaust manifold. Didn't
find any mention of how to remove the lower portion. I'm
assuming its a push fit with an O-ring seal. Is anyone familiar
with this and can they tell me if the O ring or seal is available.
I also assume that this can be done without removing transmission.
Thanks for any info,
George
