Interesting Footnote:

I also have a transmission fluid leak.
Noticed spots on my driveway. Looked under the truck and noticed 'oil' like fluid under the car , so I investigated. It looks like the oil had been slung from the U-joint where the transmission connects to the drive axle ( 2WD).
When I took it to the dealer, first he said there was no leak, the technician ran 'dye' through the engine and no leak anywhere.the leak was the drips I was seeing was condensation from the air conditioning. Told him ..I'll come in and show you.
Put the car up on the lift and there pointed to all the drops of 'red' oil that were hanging from the threaded studs near the heat shield. However the U joint was pretty dry, except for the oil sling pattern around it and the red oil on the heat shield.
The service advisor said ..." It is Dry".. You must have run over something, and it got up in there.
Yea, right. , but what can I do.. He said he would clean it off. And to check back with him.

I asked him what color Transmission fluid is..he said it was " plum' and not red. I'll tell you guys. Thats exactly what that fluid looked like to me..But, there I was . It was like standing with someone who is telling you the sky is purple....BTW..could this have anything to do with my VSC/Trac Off light?

Yikes,
