Hey all,
I found the source of a leaking transmission of my 96 Bronco; it's this thing on top with an electric nodule attached. I assume it's a sensor of some sort. Pictured below. Does anyone know what it is and what it's for.
The real question is this, how to get it to stop leaking? Do I need to replace it or just tighten it differently. I can't find any videos online, so I don't even know how it fastens in.
The problem is that I'm active duty military stationed in Colombia, and the mechanics here always just do the bare minimum (instead of doing a job right). They are telling me that they need to just seal it with a stronger sealant. You can see by the picture how ineffective the gray stuff was at sealing this leak. My hunch is that it shouldn't be sealed, but replaced or tightened differently. Any advice would be appreciated.
