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.

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
