2011 Ram Sport 5,7 Hemi. Noticed this evening a leak of transmission fluid on the ground. Only 40000 mi and havent heard any noises. Anybody else have a leak? Not sure what to check. Any ideas? Thanks

Dealer said it was just loose bolts. They supposedly removed pan and replaced/redid gasket. I do not believe this I think they just tightened bolts. Haven't seen any wet spots since.

The lip on the pan can get slightly bent when they're removing it if they're not careful and that will cause it to leak.

My truck had a trans leak at 10000 miles and it turned out to be the pump seal. It was covered under warranty but they did have to remove the trans from the truck to replace it...

No issues here with 60K.

Can you see where on the trans it's coming from?

Noticed today its from the rear end...id say its the pinion seal...it was in the dark that i noticed the leak on the ground and assumed it was the tranny but the leak is around the yolk so must be pinion seal. Should be covered through warranty
