What is causing this.

Asked by andrewdowling Nov 12, 2021 at 02:40 AM about the 2009 Ford Escape XLT AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Can't for the life of me figure out what is causing the fluid to
pour out. Changed the CV axle and axle seal and drove about
15k miles. Then this happened. U can see where it pours out   
right in front of the RTV. (it's not a home made gasket. I just
put it on the metal as a marker).  When I say it pours out I
mean it. Poured a whole big jug in and over the course of a
couple min with the car off it was all on the driveway. Kinda
leaning toward an input shaft seal. But really hoping it is
something I don't have to totally remove the transmission. I'm
sure I'm gunna have too. It's directly between transmission and
oil pan/motor HELP lol. 2.5 L awd 09 escape

Clean everything up to see exactly where it's coming from , if it comes from where you said it did then it may be the tranny seal but I wouldn't think so the car's not that old . Automatic or manual tranny ? I assume it's tranny fluid that's leaking .
