General Method

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 GMC Yukon XL, 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2011 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Verify that the leak is transmission fluid.
    2. CAUTION:

    Do not clean using brake cleaner or other reactive solvents as these solvents can damage rubber gaskets, seals and bushings.

  2. Thoroughly clean the suspected leak area using a rag.
    3. NOTE:

    Do not idle vehicle, this will not actuate transmission systems, and do not drive the vehicle on the freeway as this will splatter oil inhibiting leak diagnosis.

  3. Operate the vehicle for 15-20 minutes under city driving conditions until normal operating temperatures are reached.
  4. Park the vehicle over clean paper or cardboard.
  5. Shut OFF the engine.
  6. Look for fluid spots on the paper.
