Transmission leaking on 2017 Pro?

Hey guys- Saw a very small puddle under my truck today so crawled underneath. This is what I saw. Has anyone experienced this before?

2017 Pro 6AT with approx 20k miles.

 

Yeah brother that’s a leak of some kind... make an appointment with the dealer should be covered under warranty.

 

The pink color? It looks like coolant.

Open the hood and look around and behind the engine, too.

 

Get that thing to the dealer and let them worry about fixing it.
That pink makes me think more coolant than tranny fluid. Possibly a bad freeze plug at the back of the engine (I dont know if there are exposed freeze plugs or access ports for electric heater) that is probably leaking when it warms up.

 

Dealer appt scheduled tomorrow morning. Good call on coolant...about 5k miles ago, the truck ran low on coolant and the dealer needed to top off.

 

Possibly a cracked radiator. Some members especially 2nd Gens have had radiator mounts wear out and will cause the radiator to crack/leak. Yours is back of engine so may not be.

Like others have said take to dealer and have them check everything.

 

My guess, There is a polymer crossover coolant pipe at the rear of the engine that is known to fail. There have been posts on here about it.

 

That’s a great call and welcome to TW

Update: Dropped off this morning and got a call from the dealer. Water bypass joint is cracked. They said it will lengthy repair and offered a loaner.

 

Glad you got it sorted out. Yeah, that thing is a bugger to get at.

 

The service advisor said they'd need to drop the transmission for repair (!) Seems excessive...

Has anyone attempted this repair on a 2nd gen?

 

TTT

Picking up the truck tomorrow. Really hoping the dealer didn't pull the entire transmission for this repair...

 

Picked up the truck today. So relieved they didn't drop the transmission!

 

Awesome! Glad the dealer took care of it for you.

 

Truck is leaking again. Took it by the dealer and they tossed it on a lift...slowly leaking from the same vicinity. I took a peek under the truck and saw the new crossover pipe. Truck is going back in on Tuesday.
