I'v got a fairly good drip going. 93 J30 ~113,000 miles with aggressive maintenance.

Never leaked before. Now Iv'e got a leak dripping frem the bottom of the front edge of the transmission. Doesn't look like the oil sending unit. Rear Main? I've never read anything about thoes going.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

That SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SUCKS A$$.

I'm really not wanting to pull the transmission but the wife can't stand a vehicle that leaks!

Came on really suddenly right after I pressure washed the under side real well.

Could I have blown somthing loose???

Thanks,

Matt

It was probably already there and you just blew the caked on goo off and the leak was then free to flow.

I'm about to use this to try to fix a main seal on a 4 Runner:http://auto-rx.com/

The rear main seals are known to go in areas with snow and winter salt on the roads or due to age.
