A transmission vent hole can leak due to several reasons, including overfilling of the Transmission Fluid, which causes excess pressure that forces fluid out of the vent. Additionally, wear and tear on seals or gaskets, or damage to the vent itself can lead to leaks. Environmental factors, such as extreme temperatures or debris, may also contribute to the failure of the vent's integrity. Regular maintenance and checks can help prevent these issues.
Yes, that can cause the fluid to foam up and leak out of the vent.
at operating temp your tranny builds up pressure, the vent releases the pressure so that the seals remain intact and don't start to leak.
Not unless it gets in through the dipstick, fill hole, or a vent. It's extremely unlikely
The vent is the "hole" where they defecate out of.
vent hole ,ventiduct
On the top of the transmission.
If you overfill an differential and it does not have a vent or the vent is plugged the oil, when it becomes hot and expands, will blow past the seals causing at a minimum a leak and at worst bearing damage. Always fill the differential to the bottom of the fill hole.
it is a vent
The transmission could have a bad seal or have too much internal pressure causing the fluid to come from the 93 Suburban vent hole. The Fluid is probably leaking slowly, and that is why the level still shows normal.
on the transmission
the vent is located on the top of the transmission. it is very tough to get to unless you remove the transmission from the vehicle. however, if you remove the crossmember and the mount, you mayh be able to lower the transmission enough to replace the hose. it is no more than a small rubber hose. Typically though, one should never need to be cleaned. very rarely does one ever even leak unless there is a problem inside of the transmission.
Usually that is a leak on top of the valve cover area and running all the way down.Usually that is a leak on top of the valve cover area and running all the way down.
