Default Transmission Leak

I was changing the oil on my 07 Hoe this morning and when I got it up on the lift, I found transmission fluid coming from the area near the front seal. Called the dealer and was advised to drop it off tomorrow morning. I only have 14k miles on it and find it hard to believe that this is happening already. Will keep the forum posted.

bummer.. but at least your getting a transmission service out of it, and if you have any other tranny issues later on you have that to fall back on as a grievance...
I know, but you don't want to know your new vehicle is already having problems....its probably just a fluke

Went to the dealer today. They told me to bring it back on Monday, they'd give me a rental car and told me to expect to be without my Hoe for a few days. Sounds like they found something drastic and may have to do a replacement. Will keep the forum posted.

Got my Hoe back yesterday. Running fine. They were even nice enough to loan me a NEW Ford F150 rental for FREE(after I called GM when they tried to put me in a Cobalt) Persistance pays off again. Gotta love that 3 year warranty.
