I noticed recently that I have a leak under the truck. It's dripping off of the front of the tranny, but it's not tranny fluid, and it apears to be coming from above the tranny. There is a hose that comes out of the back end of the valve cover that might be the source (can't see in there well enough to tell for sure) . Does any one have any idea what the cause of this could be or if it is a common problem? Thanks in advance!

 

common problem. get a good stainless hose clamp and replace the factory clamp. good to go then.

 

yea my 07had the same problem itsthe one above the turbo area i think thats the location but it comes out of the block

 

Look aft of the turbo, you will see a short piece of hose with an aluminum foil cover on it. It connects two pieces of hard steel pipe. Tighten the hose clamps on that and your leak will be gone. Very common problem, easy fix.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Exactly, right behind the valve cover infront of the firewall with the foil on it. Before I even read this thread I knew it had to be an 06, my lil bro's done the same thing.

 

Yip - I had the same issue... One of the clamps were really loose...

 

Glad to hear it's an easy fix!! I still haven't had a chance to fix it but I will soon.
