Why did my Ford E350 box truck start leaking transmission fluid?
So I left my truck and didn't drive it for about a week or two and 2 days ago I noticed a huge leak that came from the transmission. I'm really curious as to why it happened since I didn't drive it for these two weeks and it happened just recently. What is going on? Bad seals? Hot weather made it start seeping through? I checked the fluid levels and they look fine to me. Advice?
You say it had a "huge leak" but the fluid levels look fine to you.
and it took 2 weeks to accumulate.
i can bet the cooler lines are leaking some. They all seem to.
they may need clamps retorqued. There could have been a high fluid reading before… I don't know. Usually, a box van/truck has some add ons. I would start inspecting.
I agree with john, my f150 also leaked, it was the power steering hose, i cut a piece from front n mounted the hose tight
Could be a corroded hose or a bad gasket. Take the time to take the pan off, clean it, replace the filter and put a new gasket on it. Refill and check it out. If it's leaking from the seam of the pan it's the gasket. Either that or it's a power steering hose, my f250 just did it twice. Though it was trans but it was same fluid just from a different hose. If it's coming from where the drive shaft is it might be a seal and you'll need to take the u joints out to get to that.
It's a 2005 E350 Super duty with 183,000 miles on it.
- Will a 2000 Ford Windstar lx fuse box diagram be the same as a 2003 Ford Windstar fuse box? I found a link about a 2003 but I need to know if it'll be the same for a 2000. If it ain't can anyone help me out with a link showing information like this but about a 2000 model? Thanks. http://www.fixya.com/cars/t11808484-2003_ford_windstar_fuse_box_diagram
- Why did my 2000 Ford Windstar just blow all off the tranny fluid out. But now its not leaking anything? I drove it with a trailer attached all day then I dropped the trailer off and drove home. When a was turning on to my street the car violently shuck but kept going I pulled into my drive way and looked under my car and big puddle of tranny fluid everywhere. So I filled it up this morning and drove it 75 miles and when I got back I was still full on fluid and nothing was leaking. So WHY?
- Why did my car start and die when put into gear? Now it won't start at all? It's a cold winter day (below zero) Car started right up! I let it run for about 2 minutes, I put it in gear and it just died. I figured it's cold out, not real surprising, but when I tried to start it again, it won't start! Turns over fine but engie won't start! Any ideas? 2003 Ford Taurus 3.0L
- Transmission fluid leaking from ac condenser? I have a 08 Ford Taurus. The tranny fluid is leaking from ac condenser. My car has the AC on top part of condenser and the transmission cooler on bottom which is where it's leaking out. I bought a replacement for it but how long will it take to replace?
