Leak Near Transmission Pan

[derekw24]

So I was out today and noticed in the parking lot a puddle underneath the truck. I recently had my transmission rebuilt by my local ford dealer, not sure if the leak is related to that. I had been hearing a sort of knocking type of sound like something is loose/out of place maybe transmission related? And finally came across the leak today (After driving some highway miles).

The droplets from the video appear to be a clear color (I think) but not sure what type of fluid because I didn’t have time to really check. But i would’ve though they’d be red because it’s dripping from the corner of the transmission pan.

It looks like condensation from the AC. Not sure if it’s warm where you are. It’s definitely warm where I am. If you can touch it you will be able to tell very quickly if it’s Transmission fluid. Next time you see it back up till the truck isn’t over what’s fell to the ground and see what it is.

Yeah i am in NC, it’s up in the 70s and getting to the 80s here soon. Humid for sure around here so must just be that? Maybe the slight clunk/knocking sound is something else

I agree it's likely condensation, but if you recently had transmission work, the fluid will not be red. Fresh fluid is practically clear. You would have to touch it to be sure.
