Trans leaking from top vent at rear
Glenn
Answer
have a trans guy see if he canpull any codes out of it. it's leaking out the vent and normally that means an internal problem with trans.
This is not an electronic transmission, so I can't imagine what codes there might be. The EDU currently shows no trouble codes.
I need to know what the vent is channeled to. Is it just an open vent for the tranny housing?
yes it is just open to the case. but an internal problem would cause this unless it is overfull on fluid. Yes there are codes for this transmission. about the only thing you can do is to make sure that the vent is open other than that it's probably an internal problem.
I have an OBD reader and it shows no codes. Is there some other way to read codes?
Also, would overheating and boiling the fluid cause this leak from the vent?
the code reader for the trans is under the hood. the elcetronic part controls the torque converter clutch and shift solenoids for 3/4it' by the driver side. you may stil not get any codes if it's a valve body problem or something else similar.
