A few weeks ago I was driving and noticed a pop noise that seemed to come from under the passenger footwell area. I inspected under the truck and under the hood but found nothing wrong from what I could see. Fast forward a few days later and I am parked on a steep incline and noticed a red fluid leaking from under my truck. One picture shows the long drip line left on the concrete. I moved my truck up the incline to see if it was actually from my truck and after about 30 minutes of working I came back to find more. Once I poked my head under the truck I noticed the drip was coming from on top of a heat shield located near the transfer case. I immediately took it to the dealership thinking it was transmission fluid. The fluid was a dark red color. After showing them these pictures and explaining everything, the tech said he couldn’t find any leaks and it was probably condensation. The truck drives fine and all fluid temps are fine as well. It is very concerning to see red fluid leaking out of a brand new truck through. Since taking it to the dealer I have parked in that same spot and not noticed any further leaks. Anyone have any idea what this might be?
