Analysis of Leakage: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The PTU may leak different color fluids, red oil leak for an automatic transmission fluid and brown/black gear lube for PTU fluid. The PTU seals prevent these types of fluids from leaking. It is important to note which color of fluid is leaking to conduct the most appropriate service procedure.
