Ford Excursion :: 2000 - Transmission Fluid Leaking?

2000 EXCURSION 7.3 Powerstroke

Automatic Transmission My son was trying to back up my empty 12' flat bed trailer up a hill (approximately a 25 degree hill). Why'll I was at work, my wife said he was having alot of trouble, and it was taking him awhile. She said she saw transmission fluid on the ground and stopped him immediately,and he turned off the engine. There is a trail of fluid on the driveway about 100' long and a 1/2" wide. This transmission has allways been solid, and only leaked a few drops on the driveway in almost 300,000 miles. what probably happened, and what I will need to do to fix it. I have allways worked on all my vehicles. But I know better than to get very deep into a transmission.

I have a 2005 f250 5.4 no mods. its got 120k and needs a wake up. the passengers side exhaust manifold is leaking to the point of fixing and would like to get some input before the big purchase. my question is, headers or new manifold, and what brands is preferred for both I really don't prefer one or the other i just want the best fix really. Changing coil pack and getting more performance out of them and if so what brand. I would like a boost in lower end acceleration and throttle response, like a programmer or such. and if so what brand once again.

Ford Transmission :: 2000 Excursion Overheated And Leaking Trans Fluid

2000 Excursion 7.3 unk transmission

Quick run down on the situation. It has been terribly hot here bumping 105 degrees. I was told by a man he could see fluid leaking and it was trans fluid. I checked it and filled it up and got it to the shop.

Next day they said it was not leaking and that it probably overheated. They recommended an after market trans cooler. They put it in and off I went. 60 miles later I got fluid all over the rear of the truck. I filled it up again and got it home. Shop says I need a new trans.

Ford Excursion :: 2003 - Transmission High Pressure Line Leaking

I have a 2003 Ford Excursion with the high pressure line leaking. My guess is that the original line had a rubber hose and was replaced with a 3/8" ID high pressure hose. My problem is that I can not get the 3/8" ID replacement hose over the second larger bulge on the line going to the radiator cooler. What am I doing wrong?

Ford Excursion :: 2005 - Rear Axle Seal Leaking On Passenger Side

2005 4wd excursion. I have a leaking rear seal on passenger side.

I have the hub assembly off. I'm down to the spindle. My old seal came out in pieces. There's either a piece of the old seal or another seal on the back of the spindle.

Are there two seals? This what looks like a seal still on the spindle against the plate on the back...

Ford Aerostar :: 1988 - Oil Leaking Down The Pan From Above And Dripping Off Of It

Ok all.. been working on the 88 getting it running (3.0L EB 2wd). It does run now pretty well.. definitely need some suspension work.. but that's a different post. I have had the rear main seal replaced and the oil pan gasket replaced to stop the oil leak. There is a lot less oil on the ground now.. but still leaves spots on the street. It appears oil is leaking down the oil pan from above and dripping off of it to the street. I also had the main cap bolts replaced (one was broken and the end was in the oil pan).

Ford 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel :: Oil Leaking / Dripping At The Trans

Last night I noticed oil on my driveway. I got up under my truck and it was dripping at the trans. I'm not sure that's where it's actually leaking from because the other side of the oil pan had clean oil on the outside of it. What this could be?

Ford Exhaust System :: Exhaust Manifold Leaking / Louder Than Normal Knock When Accelerating

Leaking exhaust manifold? The truck has a much louder than normal "knock" when accelerating. At first I thought and had some bad fuel in the tank. I eliminated that with a full take of good fuel and some STP but the "knocking" continued. Then I thought that perhaps it wasn't firing on all cylinders but it felt like it had full power. I took it to my mechanic and he said it as a exhaust manifold leak. He said that he has never replaced the exhaust manifold but that it was a "nightmare" and expensive. He also said that it's not a safety issue but on the long run the leak would cause the truck not to pass its emission test. He said the problem was with rusted bolts that would be difficult to remove.

Ford Fuel System :: 1990 Aerostar - Gas Dripping Onto Exhaust At Y-joint And Evaporating

I have a 1990 Aerostar 4WD, 4L, with about 120k miles. About 6 months ago I started my van and noticed under it that gas was dripping onto the exhaust at the Y-joint and evaporating. I shut off the van and drove another car to work. That evening with fire extinguisher at hand I drove my car up on ramps and quickly got under it looking for the leak. NOTHING. 6 months later...yesterday. I drove for a few blocks from home and notice heavy gas fumes etc. Stopped the van and again gas was dripping onto the Y-pipe joint.

This was an explosive situation... I pulled off the doghouse cover and saw, smelled and touched gas friom on the right top of the engine near the back. My questions are: What could randomly be leaking at this location and is it fixable without pulling the engine. I pushed the van to a secure location and am afraid to turn it on. Maybe I will drain the gas tank before then. I am just now trying to find the schematics for the fuel line delivery stuff. Where to go for a manual.

Ford Excursion :: 2004 6.0 - Oil Dripping Off Under The Engine

I noticed a little bit of oil in a spot under the engine. The oil was dripping off of this whatever it is adjacent to the main belt pulley. I don't see anything with ter in the engine. The front of the pan and I don't see anything up higher leaking (which doesn't mean there is not one-this is my first diesel) Then I see the frigging fitting of the transmission line going into the radiator with a leak. Not sure what to do with that fitting? That entire line up to the filter would have to be replaced, wouldn't it? These are not major but they will drive me crazy.

Ford Excursion :: Oil Dripping From Front Bilsteins

I spent a grand on new suspension from cary and got the "correctly valved bilsteins". The truck is my wife's daily driver and we treat the thing like a baby, yet one of the front bilsteins has enough oil dripping from it that the bottom of the shock mount and the metal below has a drip on it at all times.

I am leaking coolant at a slow drip but over a couple days my coolant light will come on due to low levels. I climbed under the car and I'm leaking right where the o2 sensors are on the exhaust. The coolant is dripping down from the exhaust shield which was just hanging there when I got under the car.

Ford Excursion :: Coolant Dripping Off Of The Power Steering Pump

6L Turbo Diesel .... I still have this returning oil drop on the oil pressure regulator. That fluid does seem to be oil.

Now I found what appears to be coolant dripping off the power steering pump. I have had to add a small amount of coolant every week...not much but definitely noticeable.

I have a new OPR which I will replace. These pics are from looking up at the mail pulley and to the left (power steering)..

Civic - Honda :: 1998 - Leaking Antifreeze / Fluid Is Dripping

My 98 Honda Civic is leaking antifreeze. The man at the oil change place said that I need a new head gasket. But when I look at the engine with the motor running, I see that the fluid is dripping from something I believe is called the water outlet cover. This is on the far left side of the motor where the top radiator hose connects. Can I safely assume that the water outlet gasket is truly the problem and is a cheaper fix?

Ford Transmission :: Fluid Dripping Out When Driving Up A Very Steep Hill

I have an E-350 with auto trans and 460 engine. I am away from home and hope to make it back where I have tools to do the major work. I drove up a very steep hill and the trans fluid leaked at the steep part, but only when pointed uphill. I did it a 2nd time and it only leaked at the steep part (I was not aware of this the first time or I would not have done it again). Fluid was dripping out pretty good at the bell of trans. No leaks when in drive or R when engine running and level.

I added fluid and tried to back uphill to get van out of this place and it worked fine for a min, but now just rolls downhill. My question is can I just add fluid and get home? What the leak is? How long I can drive it, or if it will leak too much? When I get home (150 miles) I can do any repair needed, Im just trying to get home now.

I know we will be guessing a lot. Van is a 1995 Ford Cube Van, formerly a Ryder moving van. E-350 with the 460 engine, and 3 speed OD trans. I don't know any more detail on the trans. It should be heavy duty given it was a moving van. Van is probably 10-12,000lbs.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2010 - ATF Drain And Mysterious Leak / Water Dripping Onto Exhaust

I have the 3.5 V6 Automatic 2010 95k miles. I have read places that say any fluid SP-III will work, then others that say any SP-IV. To my understanding, SP-III is not correct, and the fluid will need to meet SP-IV, is this correct? (Additionally, all the auto-part stores said Mecron SP-6 which is not easy to find).

Also, I have a mystery water leak, it is solely water dripping onto the exhaust just between the firewall and the engine. This happens for about an hour after the car is shut off; its getting cold here in Germany and haven't been running the A/C so that is not the issue.
