Hello all,

Something horrible happened today, it was like my car vomited, I was comming up brown mountain after a day at the coast and i stopped at a lookout to observ the nice view when i happended to notice a huge heat wave come from the underside of my car, i walked around the other side of my car and noticed a big puddle of foaming gearbox oil. it seemed to be leaking somewhere between the rear extension housing and the middle of the gearbox.

I have included a pic of the puddle.

Do EL falcon auto gearboxes have a pressure release valve that releases foaming oil when the gearbox heats up to much?

Thanks

hmmm i dofnt think so ,plus gear box oil is red lol not brown ,i hope you didnt drive home with it like that

i'd say its from the rear extension housing, easy job if you have hoist..

when i had my AU falcon, the trans overheated, and it looked the same as that, did the power/ecomomy light flash? ... I had it leaking out of the sump pan on the auto .

ooo, doesnt look good, if the power/economy light flashed that normally means its overheated..

yeah, was towing a huge trailer with a grand piano in it with my au on a 35oc day over hills lol ..... love the company cars!

ouch doesn't sound to good
