Common C6 Leaks at rest are;
pan gasket
cross-threaded/loose drain plug
Check the transmission fluid filler tube (dipstick) connection at the transmission case; inspect O ring
front pump seal & rear seal (Extension Housing Seal)
worn shift selector shaft or O ring
Check the transmission fluid lines and fittings between the transmission and the fluid inlet short tube in the radiator tank for looseness, wear, or damage. If leakage cannot be stopped by tightening a fluid line tube nut, replace the damaged parts. When fluid is found to be leaking between the case and the cooler line fitting, tighten the fitting to maximum specification.vacuum modulator/hose (rear, driver's side)
servo cover
torque converter drain-back check valve fails to seat.
band adjustment ***** (do not turn this)
Fluid Level Low, Low Transmission Fluid Level And Or Shift And Or Engagement Concerns TSB 97-12-13 for 87-96 Bronco & many others; "...transmission may have low fluid level and/or may have either a shift concern and/or an engagement concern. This may be caused by transmission fluid leaking from the transmission into the transfer case through the transfer case input seal. Replace the transfer case input seal..." read more
