Hi guys. I recently replaced my 3.0l ranger 1995 automatic engine (motor) with another 3.0l, considering that the old engine had some rod kind of noise, and the new engine I got was damm too cheap.
Before I did the engine change, the transmission system wasn't leaking though. But today, after I did the engine change, while I was pouring new cans of transmission fluid into the transmission system, through the transmission dipstick, I immediately noticed that the transmission fluid was just pouring directly on the floor.
I went under the truck to inspect to see where the leaks was coming from after resting the truck on jack stands.
To my suprised, I discovered the leak was from somewhere at the top of the transmission, just a little bit closer to where the propeller tailshaft joins the transmission at the rear. I checked to see if there was a broken hose or pipe somewhere, that immediately I poured transmission fluid, everything goes to the floor.
There's something I saw in top of the rear side of the transmission system. It look like something with a cover or like a purge valve or so.
I have been battling to find out where this leaks has been coming from since today.
Please if you've an idea of where this mysterious leaks are coming from, help please.
PS: the leaks isn't coming from the converter area, because the source of the leaks seems to be coming from top rear of transmission system.
Thanks
