This all started when I added the PPE Transmission pan. I paid a shop to install it and all seemed fine for a couple days. Then I got to leave for a road trip vacation to the grand canyon from the DFW area and less than 2 hours I feel a surge in transmission and then notice smoke at rear of vehicle. Stop at next safe place and see fluid dripping down on all the exhaust and it had also reached the muffler. I had some tools and dropped the skid plate and tried to see where it came from. It was so messy I really couldn't tell but I did notice some pan bolts were loose. Anyway, since its Sunday no one is open so I stay in a small town hotel with Ford dealer. Monday morning I have it looked at and tell me bolts were loose and fluid was fine. All is fine now... drive it home and keep driving around town for months.
Fast forward to road trip to Louisiana last weekend and 2 hours in it starts smoking a gain with fluid leaking. This time it was not as much when I stopped and looked. Was an hour from where I was going so I got going again after a quick stop and everything was fine. Then it was also completely fine on the 3+ hours raod trip home.
Any thoughts on the random puking of fluid?
