I just bought a 4Runner and it's leaking transmission fluid again? It appears to be coming from the top of the transmision? It dropped about a 5 in circle in my garage after the vehicle was idling for about 5-10 min in the driveway? Any ideas? It's going back to the dealership and they have already replaced the transmission pan seal... Not too happy right now with my 4Runner. :-( It only has 2200 miles on it!
Thanks,
Rick

Check your fluid level.
If too much is in there, it can cause a *syphoning* effect once the fluid warms up. Fluid expands, and has nowhere to go.
Might be leaking from the shifter linkage. Could be loose.
Just a couple of things to check.

Thanks so much! You know there is no way to check the '05 trans level with the normal stick on the engine. I thought I was going crazy last night looking for it, but when I asked Leith Toyota today they said there was not. A few hours later on Sat. they came to me and said they made a mistake and overfilled the trans fluid! I was not to happy, but it's under warranty and they will make good. Thanks again and have a great day!

Not a problem! Glad to help!
And the lemon-law? Yes it does.
A buddy of My Dad just traded in his Suburban for an H2 (big differance lol) Tranny problems, and as we all know, 3rd times a charm!

Just wanted to let you all know that they overfilled the transmission on my 4Runner. There is no way to check the fluid from the engine comp. This is NEW to me... Ugh. Not used to that. Anyway, thanks so much for your time.
