replace tail shaft seal. to do this, remove drive shaft first. It helps if the front of the car is pointed down a steep hill. This way you won't loose any trans fluid.
The Windstar transmission could have a seal that leaks worse as the transmission gets hot and the fluid is under pressure. Go to a car wash and clean the transmission good. Watch for several days to see where the fluid is leaking from so that you can find and fix the leak.
front wheel drive cars have a plug in the transaxle that you can take out and check the level by sticking your finger into the hole. the level will be correct if you can touch fluid. This plug can be seen after taking off the wheel. rear wheel drive is the same only much harder to get to (you must get under car and be careful to unplug the uppermost hole or you will have trans fluid all over
Not using the dipsticks for the oil and transmission, while seeing leaks are a sign... Check your fuids and keep them clean and full or you will cause damage to whatever componenet relies on their respective fluids. Answer leaking oil is NOT sign of a bad transmission, its a sign of a bad/worn seal(s) or hose(s). more likely a sign of a worn seal or oil pan gasket. Actually it's a sign of money that will go out of you pocket, the more you can see, the more you have to pay. If you don't fix it, you may have to pay for the aggregates, eg transmission parts instead of paying for a small rubber seal.
Keep an eye on it, if it doesn't leak you will be fine until the next oil change. If it leaks, have it repaired correctly now.
Could be the timing, I have a 96 and a 95, when my 96 done that, i thought it was fuel filter or something of the sort, but it was that it had jumped time. Might be that your transmission is slipping... It happened with my '02 Galant. You would have to check for leaks, and may even replace the transmission fluid. spark plugs and wires may need to be changed, try that first You might need a new fuel filter, because the one you haave might be dirty
Don't drive it! Have it towed to a garage that can flush the system, replace the radiator and hope that the transmission is not damaged.
Yes. The turbocharger, as opposed to a 'naturally aspirated' engine will not put positive pressure induction in to intake manifold if the seal leaks, and sure, you can drive it but with reduced performance and economy
If you take the driveshaft out of the transmission you will see a seal on the end of the transmission housing. It just pops out and you just drive the NEW seal back in with a SMALL hammer real easy. It is called a rear transmission seal. If it still leaks fluid after installing new seal, then the brass bushing inside of the tail shaft housing is worn. Replace bushing. Replace seal FIRST and if you still have a leak, then ask your question again. Thank you.
Check your transmission fluid levels. Look around for leaks...you'll see a reddish fluid around the drive axle on your transmission or around the radiator.
If transmission fluid is coming out of the dipstick on a Turbo 350, it may indicate overfilling, which can cause excessive pressure in the transmission. Other potential issues could include a faulty vent or breather, leading to fluid expulsion when the transmission heats up. Additionally, a malfunctioning torque converter or internal leaks can contribute to this problem. It's important to check fluid levels and inspect the system for any faults.
Seal leaks oil... Or oil in your charge air cooler...
To replace the transmission vent tube on a Turbo 350, first, ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and secured. Remove the old vent tube by unscrewing or pulling it out from the transmission case, depending on its design. Clean the area where the new tube will be installed, then insert the new vent tube and secure it in place. Finally, double-check for any leaks and ensure it's properly seated before reassembling any surrounding components.
The front transmission line leaks, how do I replace it?
on the ground, if it tranny leaks
front seal is probly out,, when wet it from running it wont leak when dry is shrinks no seal leaksm u turn on it the seal swells and wont leak but after u turn off after so long it well leak more n more
A Turbo 350 transmission may leak at the pan due to a few common issues, such as a worn or damaged pan gasket, loose or improperly torqued pan bolts, or a warped transmission pan. Over time, the gasket can degrade, leading to leaks, while loose bolts can prevent a proper seal. Additionally, if the pan itself is bent or warped, it may not sit flush against the transmission, causing fluid to escape. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify and address these issues promptly.
