Default transmission problems

I was just wondering if anyone else has had a fluid leak like this. I went to get my oil changed and it looked like I had an oil leak seeping out at the gasket and a power steering leak somewhere near the rack and pinion. Come to find out Ford says it was two bad clamps on a transmission line to the tranny cooler. and the line cracked a little. Is this something that I may have caused by punching it alot on the freeway or just a fluke thing I'll never have to worry about again? With the exception of a throttle body bypass I'm still bone stock.

No tranny problems yet but I have a 5 speed...I bought mine new on feburary 3rd 2006 with 9 miles on the ODO. Right now Ive got close to 35,000 miles I drive alot making visits for my work. Granted I have alot of modifications bolt on's and etc, my stock diff broke already "it sounds like a rock crusher". It just justified for me to get a nice LSD and Motive Gear ring and pinion...BUT thats not the point. I hit 35,000 miles I do launch hard now and then but I do baby my car most of the time. Just waiting for my parts to arrive. Anyone else have a diff blow already thats totaly stock or modded?

They tell me its overflow but I doubt it, I got a blower now so its not worth the stress. IM gunna have fazm look at it when I get my plugs done just to make sure its not to low

Same issue. It was called seepage by the dealership. Comes and goes. I wish I could blame it on hard driving but it happens so randomly.
