Leaking fill tube

[Dieselboy.]

My fill tube on my trans leaks, the actual 6" stub neck thats pressed into the casing.

Is there any aftermarket solution to this. No O ring to replace and I doubt a replacement will fit any better...

Thinking of cleaning it and dumping a bead of INTL grey silicone around it.

But have a feeling thats just a bandaid on a bullet wound.

I thought there was an o ring in that?

I did some searching last night, the only one that came up was on FTE and he said he went to Ford and they only list an o ring for the long filler tube that sticks into it.. Mine is leaking where it inserts into the Transmission casing.

the oring is on the lower going to the casing the upper just is a slip fit

RTV or some anaerobic sealer would be fine.

Ill call Ford. But Im positive its the other way round.

Dave, my thoughts exactly.
