hey guys, so I'm leaking which I believe is transmission fluid.


Pretty much where the orange bolt plus the other 2 on the left are leaking. I had the car running and saw oil dripping from there. Anyone know what may be leaking?

 

Lots of things could be leaking.

 

That was the only spot I saw dripping, but, I also saw oil on the transfer case. And somehow oil was on the top of the transmission and can be seen when the hood is up.

 

Was clutch recently replaced or was the trans or tcase recently removed from the car?

 

^what I wanted to ask. If so and if you are sure if it's trans or t case fluid, then separate the t case from trans and check the o rings on the t case and there is a small o ring on the t case that usually gets crushed, ripped or goes missing when wiggling the t case around when doing a clutch job. Or due to wear and tear it might be time to replace it.

 

Clutch was replaced maybe 5k miles ago, give or take. With the photo provided, does it look like it's by the tc and tranny?

 

It's impossible to tell. What kind of oil does it smell/feel like? Gear oil and trans fluid are distinctly different.

 

Rear seal needs to be replaced, engine possibly is being pressurized, blowby maybe, it's pushing oil.
Oring missing or torn on T case

 

Been super busy with work, haven't had time to check. Hopefully this weekend I can get around to actually checking the texture of the oil. I know so far that it only leaks when the engine is running. From what my uncle believes, could be the rear main seal. Gonna clean the area with brake cleaner, and hopefully can see exactly where it's coming from.

 

Found the leak. Ended up being the turbo feed line at the head was leaking. Slowly, but streaming.
