HELP! transmission fluid everywhere.
HELP! transmission fluid everywhere.
drove home from work tonight and noticed a dark fluid on my driveway where i usually park my truck, i then look at the driver side front wheel and noticed some type of fluid coming from the break area. at first i thought i had blow a seal or cut a line but that wasn't the case. i looked under the hood and saw a red fluid (trans fluid) coming from near the lower trans line fitting going into the radiator. and was leaking really good. im gona pull the rad out tomorrow and see if a crack formed near the fitting. hopefully just a split O-ring in the line but worst case scenario a cracked radiator. but that's not what i really worried about, i had driving it leaking like this for at least 30 miles before i noticed it in my driveway. i didn't have a chance to check trans fluid levels yet seeing its 1AM (east coast) but do you think i could have lost enough fluid to do damage to the transmission. thanks for any help. Also has anyone had this problem before? i didnt hit anything and had never disconected the line or any type of work near the area its leaking. i did some mud running latley but was more water then mud.
