Oil "puddle" w/ coolant in it...

[Frank The Tank]

I have a small puddle of oil underneath my rig (on the ground almost directly behind the shifter area) it has been growing, but I just looked at it today and noticed there is antifreeze in it! What kind of science project am I growing. and how are they mixing?

I'm sure "brake fluid" will join the mix soon. Although perhaps "petrol" could beat it to the draw.

It is very possible that you have a minor coolant leak from a radiator hose, heater line or other area from the block/cooling system that is being blown rearward when the vehicle is being operated and ends up being collected on the transmission, only to drop free and appear as though you are leaking coolant with the gear oil.


Verify the coolant lines to the rear heater as well.
