Transmission Fluid Leak When Driving On The Highway

[2000co]

Yesterday i was driving on the highway going 75mph posted speed limit. I started to notice smoke from the back of the truck on my rear view mirror, I pulled over and notice transmission fluid all over the bottom of the tuck. I tow the truck home.

Today I’m trying to find where it’s leaking from but I can’t find a leak. There’s fluid on the front sway bar all the way to the back of the truck so it’s hard to pinpoint the leak location.

Is there a common problem with these tranny that I should check? Thanks!!

Based on that, I'd check the power steering system.

It's not the power steering. Thanks

Did you check the transmission cooler lines (if you have one) and/or the lines from the transmission to the radiator assembly? Maybe you hit something and it damaged a line, or maybe a connection or the line itself is damaged and leaking and blowing it back toward the sway bar?

It's leaking from at transmission and the engine connection. Is it the front transmission seal?
