akhowell Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 just got back (last night actually) from a long weekend in atlanta and while coming back down I75 cruising around 75 or 80 and did have a little fun with some kid in a honda. anyway about two weeks ago found a spot, its not oil smells like differential fluid, and had not seen it since. but today found several spots. has anyone had this problem? it only has 4400 miles on it.

Crash712us Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 yeah is been known to happen where oil will leak out from the vent on top of ptu, best to have your dealer have a look at with that low of miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash712us Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Doesn't really tell me anything, where would this be at in relation to the car? front center, middle, or rear, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine109 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Looks similar to my PTU oil leak that was coming out of the PTU vent. They ended up replacing my PTU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhowell Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 from the front havent gotten under it yet to really check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoBoostSHO Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Could be the vent as indicated or the actual seal to the PTU could be leaking. Mine went bad and they replaced it under warranty. (assuming its gear oil...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhowell Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 i saw the tsb for the vent but that was for the 2010's what did they do to fix it on later models or is it a problem on newer ones. and yeah its def gear oil not motor oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
