That is either an Engine rear main seal or the transmission oil seal. Most likely it will be the engine oil seal if the fluid is black and not reddish. Unfortunately the only cure for that is to pull the transmission and replace the rear oil seal on the engine. Not an easy task. Please do not fall for the additives that are sold everywhere stating they will fix the problem. 9 times out of 10 they only work for a little while and than you end up with a blown engine. Best to fix the problem rather than put a bandaid on it.

If its dark color it is likely rear main seal on engine. If it is red color it is front seal on transmission. check fluid levels, overfilling engine oil or transmission fluid can cause this also. both require major removal of tyranny etc. If you never done this get qualified help. .

SOURCE: Transmission fluid leak just off Radiator

Those are your transmission cooling lines. Buy them and replace them.

When you install them, take your time...don't be in a rush.

SOURCE: Front Main Seal is blown on the Transmission

You have to remove the transmission, remove the torque converter to access the seal. Most likely the bushing behind the seal is worn out allowing fluid to leak past the seal. After the trans. is out, take it to a trans. shop. It requires a special tool to change the bushing. Seems like a bunch of work for $10.00 in parts. The rear main seal requires pulling the pan to access it. When the trans. is out, this is the time to replace the rear main seal on the engine.

SOURCE: transmission oil leak

Re-torque the pan bolts. If that doen't help then may just give it a transmission oil anf filter change. Would not hurt to service it if your going to keep it longer then the times your going to clean up the oil satins on the drive way. Good luck

SOURCE: transmission leaking nearfront changed front seal

Most transissions front leak is the front seal but it can also be the pump gasket over flow expelling fluid.To save money you should first change the filter. Them if it still leaks pull the trany and pull the front pump and change the gaskets and seals. If this does not fix it then you should seek professional help.

My 88 dodge dakota has a leak between the engine and the transmission. What could the problem be and how can I fix it?

If it is motor oil, it should match the oil on the dipstick.
If it is automatic transmission fluid, it should be sort of redish and match your "tranny" fluid on that dipstick.
If it is thicker than motor oil, it should be manual transmission oil.
Motor oil leaks from the "rear main seal".
Transmission fluid or gear oil leak from the front transmission seal.
All 3 of these can look like they are coming from about the same place, where you have said.
All three of these require you separate the motor and transmission to fix them, and that means taking the transmission out of your truck.
Pretty expensive if you pay to have it done.
If you take the " tranny" out, most shops will replace both seals (one front, engine and one rear, tranny)
Depending on how much it is leaking and other things, lots of people let it leak.
If you are using a lot of fluid, perhaps it\'s time to think about repairs.
Be blessed

'99 Ford Crown Vic LX: #12 30A Maxi fuse blows seconds after starting or ignition turned on.

i had this problem with my 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo with the brake lights it kept popping fuses right after the ignition was turned on try putting a higher amp fuse in place of the old one that keeps blowing then check for shorts to the starter and check grounds and wires and also the transmission issue check the fluid and then if the fluid is fine change the transmission filter the filter may have not gotten replaced when the transmission was rebuilt and may be clogged or dirty

1993 A4LD oil leak

My 93' Stang has the same problem. Well you got a few things there, most likely the front pump seal. That seal connects your torque converter to the trans and allows fluid to flow through it if that gets worn it may leak, but it will usally do this if the engine is running or when it gets put under a heavier load (ie: Driving up a hill) it may still leak if the engine has just been shut off. could also be torque converter or flexplate im still working on that soloution.

Tranmission slipping. Think I have a leak underneath the motor. What could it be and should I chech it or have it looked at?

A leak under the motor could be anything. Is it motor oil, transmission fluid, coolant??? Anything can leak and it can start from the top. It will all end up under the motor.

But if you feel the transmission is slipping then its best to have it checked. A person cannot diagnose many things, including a slipping transmission, or the web. If you let it go though it could leave you stranded at any time.

If the trans fluid smells burnt, brown, many miles on the transmission and/or many miles between transmission services (or never serviced) then most its in need of repairs. With a slipping transmission, a fluid and filter change is not going to fix it. Having clean fluid in there may cause it to slip more and leave you stranded sooner.

1994 Accord Lx leaking from somewhere in the back by the wheels. It doesnt smell like gas or oil.

Fluid by the back wheels could be an indication of a brake fluid leak. Check the reservoir on the master cylinder for brake fluid level. If it's low, you've identified that you have a leaky brake line and should replace it immediately. If the fluid is full, it's possible that you've a transmission fluid leak that traveled along the undercarriage and is dripping by the back wheels.

For the fastest indication of what the fluid is, check all the fluids, power steering, auto transmission (if equipt) clutch if it's a manual transmission etc

Transmission leaking

I have a 1988 Ford Crown Vic....on mine, there is a small leak at the back end of the transmission, where the drive shaft connects....

Is this where your fluid is leaking from?

My cousin is a ford mechanic...he told me that he sees that a lot on the vics of this age.....not because a seal is bad, but because of how the tranny is made....

but im not sure...

hope this helps somehow...

Massive tune up for a 2000 crown victory

Plugs, Direct ignition modules should be checked for conductivity and resistance,oil, oil filter, 14 quarts of tranny fluid, tranny filter,oil, oil filter, serpentine belt, tensioner pulley setup ( cops beat on these motors) fuel filter, flush the coolant system ( a new radiator is great for these cars), timing belt, purple oil for the rear end, Id either ad Lucas (my first chioce) or marvel mystery oil for the motor, tranny, and rear end, as long as there isnt any serious trouble mechanicaly this will condtion the moving parts and reduce breakdown of those partts. Other than that i think you'd be wasting money, i work at a dealer that specializes in goverment cars, ive seen theese steps bring a car that wont move and barely run, to a dependable daily driver. good luck

Leaked tranny fluid.

Your transmission fluid runs to the front of the car in different lines for cooling. you busted one of the lines. figure out what is broken by looking under car when running (in park with brake on), preferably while parked halfway on a curb for better visilbility. Fix the problem or have mechanic fix it. You shouldn't keep driving, without AT fluid, the car wont move...
Hope this helps

PS Don't even think about buying stop-leak fluid..!
