Washing my truck recently and noticed the driveway was wet BEFORE I hit it with the hose, bummer. Seems my truck felt an obligation to start depositing a nice pink fluid on the ground, double bummer. Still in warranty so took it to the dealer and he found a tranny leak as well as a front main seal leak??? 2009 cummins with a whopping 20K miles. Anybody else ever heard of that?

This is my second Cummins over 18 years and the only drips I have had is from the crankcase vent hose. There may be an occasional drop or two from that careless guy that maintains them. :rolleyes: Now on the other hand .... my '96 5.2L Dakota work truck is not allowed on the driveway.

i blew out the rear main on the trans in a brand new chevy 2500, not once but twice in less then 10 K. wasn't mine so i didn't care a whole lot, just a PIA on my part. fixed the first time under warrenty, second time, the boss just had OUR garage fix it, no problems for 60K plus after that. only thing i had leak on the dodge was the dip stick holder rotted thru. i only realized this after a pit stop when i saw my buddy's WIFES car who was following me from DC to harrisburg PA. oopps. :rofl: i never said he was a smart buddy. it was dripping down right onto the drive shaft, and spinning out right from under the truck. good news was, the truck was clean. bad news took two days and about 5 bottles of spray 9 to get my trailer cleaned:rofl:
