Yes again...tranmission leak

[Blanik_SHO]

Ok si i try to do i quick search over the forum and my problem seem to happen to a lot of person.

my tranny leak between the motor and the transmission, so a little while ago, (last summer) i decide to go to FORD to check for my O2 sensor and ask him for the oil leak.

so he tell me it is the seal between the motor and tranny that have to be change and he tell me that it was not dangerous because the red tranny oil and the engine oil don't mix together , so as long as ther is enough tranny oil it should not be a problem

So recently it began to leak a little more since it becoming more warm!!!!

Because when my car run straight, there is no leaking is when a turn left or right a lot that it leak the most. So it can be real that it is not a crank or torque seal

But do i have to remove all the tranny to change a gasket that with like 2 inch detach from the motor, i could replace?

The rear main seal requires the removal of the transmission/pressure plate/flywheel. there is no other way.

The front main seal requires that you remove the crank pully and timing belt pully.

The transmission output shaft seals require that you remove the axles.

The transmission input shaft seal is not your problem.

 

[RStalveyARFF]

If it happens while turning, most likely it's the output shaft seals.

Take a look underneath the car and see if you can narrow down exactly where it's coming from. Look particularly where the halfshafts enter the trans at the axle seals. If it's the axle seals then it's a fairly easy and straight forward process and the trans does not need to be removed. The axle seal part number is either S3622 or 3622S depending on what parts store you go to. Or you can get them from a Ford dealership.

the leak come from between the transmission and motor.

but i didn't go underneath my car for a couple of time, (during winter) , so i'll check this friday, and come back to you with it.

if it's coming between the transmission and motor it's a torque converter seal, this is a atx transmission?

 

[93rev2sev]

if it's coming between the transmission and motor it's a torque converter seal, this is a atx transmission?

Yeah...good question...ATX or MTX?

If it's oil, it will be blackish...probably the rear main seal. If it's ATX fluid it will be red...probably the torque converter seal (if it's an automatic trans)

He got a GEN3.

I just fixed this problem with tranny fluid leaking in this exact area. I just replaced that tranny with another tranny with lesser mileage. It was the $15 torque converter seal that was shot. All that labor fee for such a small and cheap part. I think the leak in this area just gets worse very rapidly; the longer the drive, the more chance for fluid leakage.

 

[St Louis SHO]

The bad thing about replacing the torque converter seal is: Why is it leaking to begin with... Bad pump bushing.. Just my .02

 

[Bizzy]

Oh, then my suggestion won't do any good it pertains to an MTX. (I ASSumed it was an MTX for some reason. ) This should be addressed in the Gen 3 section if that's the case.
