Well my 5r110 has began to leak fluid from what appears to be the rear of the pan. Never overheated or abused. Got home yesterday from a trip around town and the rear bumper is wet. Crawl under the truck and the rear of the pan and transfer case are soaked.
Today I pressure washed everything put about a 1/2 quart in it and let it idle for about 30 minutes (no leak). Took it for a drive (1 mile) and fluid if coming from rear of pan (appears to be the passenger side closest to my 5" exhaust pipe). Leaked about 1/2 quart on the ground and more on the crossmember and toward rear end.
I shut it down and checked the pan bolts (all were within spec). I located a small amount of fluid on the shelf above the pan where the pan bolts go through case on the passenger side but it seems to have splashed up there after hitting the exhaust pipe.
I bought a new filter and pan gasket but located some stuff online that said the wiring harness oring on the passenger side likes to leak which I'm not able to check until tomorrow and also something about a reverse snap ring coming loose and cracking the case but all gears work fine with no slipping and fluid looks and smells great so I don't suspect the second issue.
Have any of you guys had a similar issue. Where should I start? I don't want to change the fluid and filter only to have to do it again because the gasket wasn't the issue. This fluid is kinda pricey. Thanks for any and all help. If y'all need some pics I can snap some tomorrow.
