I bought it two years ago and have only driven it twice since then, just to go on 60 mile trips. I drove it 130 miles to get it home when I bought it, the guy I bought it from didn’t tell me about the tranny leak, but I bought it for 1200. Now I know that it went at least 100 miles while 2 quarts low. Who knows if it was full when I left Billings. Or if he ever drove it full. The truck has a straight and rust free body so I don’t think I got ripped off. Will take a closer look at it now. Thanks again
hanks very much for the pictures, where is the pump? It seems to be coming from high up and in front.What is the history with truck? It's always been okay until recently? Or you just bought it?
The passenger side has the cooler lines,the dipstick seal (no oring) and maybe the vent tube (it can be either side. ) The vent tube should not be releasing fluid unless there's something else going on. Is your dipstick level correct? The level fill level should be even with top of the pan. Only way to check is to remove the pan and check.
On the driver side there's the electrical connector, speed sensor and the shift shaft seal. I would not think any one of those would leak that much fluid...oh on that side there's also the pressure test plug.
Then there's the front that has torque converter and front seal. Pump-to-case gasket and bolt heads can leak.
Hook up a longer hose on the vent tube and stick an oil jug or something. Go for a short drive and see if there's anything inside the jug.
