my truck leaks transmission fluid only when it is driven more than usual. i drive back and forth to work and its fine but if i am driving around stuck in traffic or have a passenger it leaks really bad and smokes alot. when i check the fluid its empty then. but if i let it cool down and fill it back…

Not the OP but the new function gets confusing. It seems like it is a Ford Explorer. Have to wait for OP for the engine.

My daughter’s ford Taurus does very similar - if driven greater than usual distance or on interstate. It can leak catastrophically - otherwise ok. Two mechanics have tried to fix leak. Don’t know why it still leaks sometimes.

BTW - it is a 2003. Has almost 100 k miles

Two mechanics have tried to fix what? In other words, where do they say it is leaking from?
