snowtire Report post Posted April 3, 2019 Just did my first oil change at 2,000 miles and noticed transmission fluid leaking from the front of the transmission. Has anyone else had this problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vmaxbaby Report post Posted April 4, 2019 This can't be good...I just sit hear and shake my head how R&D didn't find these issues. Are they trying to get a car to market fast and just don't have the time to test things 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flymore Report post Posted April 5, 2019 Assume you have a 2019? What engine? My 2018 3.5L AWD is not doing that. That's not good, take it to the dealer ASAP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick Halstead Report post Posted May 4, 2019 different transmission, but my 15 Sport had a leak that took 7 months to diagnose as a cracked transmission housing. I'd get it looked at as soon as possible and keep an eye on it, even after they say they "fixed" it. Mine was supposedly fixed 3 times. 4th time was a new housing after they finally found the crack, dunno what they "fixed" the previous 3 times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowtire Report post Posted May 22, 2019 They kept my ST for four days, because they had to order the plastic transmission cover and gasket . I'll check for leaks on the next oil change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Report post Posted May 22, 2019 Ford is having real problems with their seals since the introduction of Gen 2. They need to put some funds into engineering these better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
