Lefty Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 2004 B52 team edition. I've got a transmission fluid leak. Has anybody had this problem? If so how did you replace the seals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokinjo Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 If the transmission is leaking from the seals, it will have to be pulled to fix it. Most shops will remove the top on the back and pull the motor, trans, and Vdrive as one unit, break them apart, fix the problem and reinstall. You will also need an alignment when reinstalling. It's a lot of work. Are you sure your seals are leaking? Depending on the transmission you have, some will use some fluid. Best to check levels at least every 50 hours. Not the news you wanted to hear, but is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Clean the transmission and try a fluorescent dye. If it's leaking, you'll see where it's leaking from. Start with the transmission as it's at a lower point. If no leaks, then try the engine. The engine could be leaking onto the transmission making it look like it the transmission leaking. Also, there's a viscosity and smell difference between engine oil and transmission oil. Put a little new oil on each finger and feel and smell the difference. Transmission oil smells rank when compared to engine oil. Then compare to the leaking oil. Just learned this trick myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
