Is this a transmission leak?

Post by kaliona »

Where is this transmission fluid coming from? Looked under the truck one day and saw a little puddle. Looked like was dripping off the u-joint so I wiped it off and drove it...and sure enough that's where I see the drip (see pic). Where is it coming from? Help!

If it is not the rear seal, it is either weeping out the threads of the tail shaft or the yoke bleed hole, some , but not all yokes have a weep hole in the center & a rubber pad on the inside ? Kind of a tough one to see on here ...Why not drop the 4 bolts & look around...I think it will self explain. What year, make , & model..........???

The source of the leak will reveal itself if ya clean off the wet gunk. Start there.

Looks like a mid-60s Cruiso to me. Most likely the rear seal.

It's a 67 F100 with a cruise-o-matic. I'll remove 4 bolts at the yoke and take a look. If it is the rear seal, is it a big job to fix it?
