Whew. What a night. Man, I hope you're right on the leak at the inspection hole at the flywheel. Makes sense.
I got a real hose clamp on the leaking hose, and now everything seems mostly ok. I still get drips from that weep hole, but maybe it's just the coolant? It seems oily to me, but it could have picked some up on its way back there. Either way, I'm going to roll with it and see what happens. I'll keep an eye on AT, Oil, and Coolant levels (and milkshakyness) for a while. Maybe I got lucky and scared myself over nothing. Was pretty s***ty to be under the truck and then get rained on from multiple places...
Earlier question: this is a 2000 which I believe does have the A343F. I have a dipstick.
Up next is the water pump and timing belt. I'm hoping to do this at a more leisurely pace without my wife wondering when she'll get her rig back!
Yes, you have the A343F tranny. And yeah, just watch things for now. Do the T-belt and related components later, no need spooking the Wife with one thing right on the heels of another. DO check your heater Tee's if you haven't done them already.
