Detecting and Addressing Transmission Leaks in Your Truck: A Quick Guide

Diagnosing a Transmission Leak in Your Truck

A leaking transmission is a serious issue that should be addressed as soon as possible. If you suspect your Ford, Dodge, GMC, or Chevy truck has a transmission leak, the first step is to diagnose the problem.

Visual Inspection

Park your truck on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Locate the transmission and look for signs of leaks, such as drips, puddles, or stains. Pay attention to:

• Transmission pan gasket

• Transmission lines and connections

• Transmission cooler

• Transmission vent tube

• Transmission seals

Symptoms to Watch For

In addition to visible leaks, there are other symptoms that could indicate a transmission problem, including:

• Slipping gears

• Burning smell

• Low transmission fluid level
