Picked my Truck up Last Night….and I Already Have a Leak.

[Donovan]

Update on my transmission leak. Just as I suspected and others mentioned, the leak turned out to be a loose transmission hose. Nothing major and shouldn't be anything for anybody to be worried about.
Just as a disclaimer, my truck went into production on Friday the 13th.

That is nice to know.

Hopefully the temp on the tranny wont creep up.

It was the hose going to the trans cooler. In the one day I drove it before I noticed the leak, I never had any issues with the tranny temp going up. I must not have lost as much as I thought.

Awesome dude

Just a heads up, I received a DM from another member that appeared to have the same leak I did. Whoever is supposed to be fastening the trans cooler lines at DTP is not tightening them or at least one all the way causing a leak. I know it is only two, but keep an eye out on your trucks for any leak.

Thats the reality. It's a ford, not an aston martin. Mass produced. It ain't special.

Just the same as dodge, toyota, honda, chevy etc

**** happens

just plain old bad luck

Glad you didn't freak out

Great to hear it’s on the mend. Enjoy the truck.

Got any pics of where the rest of us can look?

Glad it wasn't something terrible. When I picked up my 18 F150 XLT I poured Windshield Wiper fluid into the tank and it went straight to the ground. I took it back on principle, hose not connected.

Might be just me but that picture didn't make it through.
