tranny leak!

[Francesco Rizzo]

I took my truck in to get the engine and tranny flushed... seems they did a reverse flush where they send about 14 quarts of fluid through the system backwards... it caused a couple of leaks but a gasket change seemed to fix it.. I noticed moisture/drips several times after but nothing crazy like the frist time I had to bring it in for the new gasket... I'm coming up on my 90K soon but don't want a repeat.. did you guys by any chance have service doen prior to the leaks?

Yes, I did. That's what started the whole series of leaks.

MINE STARTED LEAKING AND I SNUGGED THE PAN BOLTS AND IT STOPPED,LUCKY ME HUH.WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW THE #$@* DO I CHECK AND TOP THE FLUID OFF WITHOUT TAKING IT TO THE STEALER DEALER.

Jack it up. All four wheels. Start it up. Pull the higher of the two drain looking type plugs. Stick your pinky in. If its wet, it's full. If not, run a tube down from above with more fluid into the open hole. Simple???
