2014 mt82 fluid leak
Gents...I am asking for some help here. Just got my new 2014 mustang gt and every day I find a quarter size drop of tranny oil on my garage floor. I put her on jacks and found where it is collecting and dropping from. there is a section on the back end of the tranny right befor the ujoint, it has a bunch of funky bolts connecting it to the main body of the tranny. There is a rubber plug on the section as well. For sure that is where the drops form. I cleaned it and within 30 minutes a drop size blob of tranny fluid ( I assume tranny fluid) collected there. I am taking it in tomorrow along with a well written note describing the issue. Oh yeah I marked the area with a shot of green paint to make it even easier for them to find the issue. I also said that the road noise is CONSIDERABLY higher than my buddies 2013 5.0. I want a ride in another car in case they tell me it is "normal" along with a tranny drain / fill as this has been going on who knows how long before I bought the ride. I admit I am **** when it comes to cars but a new car should NEVER leak ...not a drop. Any feedback men?

Oh yeah they fixed it. It was just a seal that was slightly crooked it happens from time to time. After they replace it no problems. On my personal car i would have been a bit more upset and would have been like i want a new car all together lol unless i love that car

thanks!!! However I am allowing the good folks at Healey Ford to do their best..spoke with them yesterday and they found that a gasket was crimped on the rear end of the tranny ( right where I marked the fluid leak). I expect that I will get it back today...fresh fluid, fill and good to go. Maybe it was a "friday car"
