i was towing an explorer sport with my 4 door x south on 81 to 476 in pa. if anyone has ever driven this you know its extreamly hilly.

Well i have towed with my x befor and no problems have ever arised.. welll on this tow i started to drip trans fluid on my exaust, not a lot. After the tow i was still full of trans fluid. but searching thru theese threads it seams that the a4dl does not hold up long.. well i have 130k on my x and this is the first drop of any fluid it has expeled from any where. does this mean thats it going or does it mean that i have just over heated it..... because it would only smoke(leak on to the exaust) when temp gage was 3/4 the way up, but once the temp went down the smoke stoped.. i have a trans cooler its stock.. is it smoked or can i save it .
 






Since your X is still functionng, I am moving this thread to UNDER THE HOOD....

BTW....You probably blew the pump seal. It will leak tiny bits over time....the actual transmission will likely hold up, but it would be a good idea to get it fixed.
 






Thanks i will check in to that.
