01 Ram 1500 3.9 has an atf leak at the yoke, there's no trail of atf coming from the tranny. What could be the culprit?[Linked Image]

The slipyoke itself is leaking. You'll have to replace it. For a temporary hillbilly-style fix, you can take out the slipyoke, clean out the inside of it really well with brake clean, and fill the bottom 1/8" with RTV. It may last a month, it may last forever, who knows. The proper fix is to replace the slipyoke though. and While you have the driveshaft our replace the tailshaft seal.

The tailshaft (rear) seal in the picture appears dry, and there's drips hanging off the front u-joint. Fluid couldn't make it from the seal to the u-joint without also getting all over the big round damper and also dripping down the trans itself, both of which appear dry.

It ain’t easy being a internet mechanic.. can’t see the pic very well on my phone. At any rate the slip yoke has to come out to replace the seal...may as well replace it all if you can afford it. Pretty sure that slip yoke seal is just a little metal plug..

Thanks. I might as well replace the slip yoke the rear main seal and do a fluid change. Money and health are issues so this should be fun lol

Here's some better pics, sorry for the delay I've been laying down all day barely able to move.

Have you had to add any ATF?
If not, until it starts slinging oil and leaving a noticeable leak on the floor I wouldn't waist my time.

I wouldn't worry too much. It is not the seal IMO. There must be a weep hole at the end of the slip yoke near the u-joint.
Slip yokes do wear out but when they do they get sloppy on the splines and you'll start puking oil out of the seal. (From experience).

52Carl, the leak is seen in the OP photo & the driver side photo.

Half ton, I have been noticing drip Mark's lately especially when parked for more than a day. I added some Lucas transmission stop leak but it has not helped maybe I'll add the rest of the bottle.
I hadn't drove since Thursday night and the drip area on the road was bigger than usual.

I'd stay away from the magic lotions and potions, they tend to just be a waste of money. No goop you can pour down the dipstick tube is going to put back worn metal, put rubber back on a worn seal, or close up a hole in a leaking slip yoke.

Back?


I bit the bullet and bought a hot tub. Best money ever spent. Yes using it every day . Put it inside my building and installed central heat and air. Insulated it top to bottom . Installed ceiling fan over it .

Of course lost 28 lbs also helped.........

My back is a 2 part issue; degenerative disc and fractured spine add to that fibro and my other issues

looks like I will be working on this issue this weekend. CEL came on yesterday morning with P1762 Governor Pressure Sensor and Solenoid. Ordered those 2 parts last night along with other parts. I might as well since I will have the pan off.

with the p1762 code some people online say changing the pressure sensor and solenoid did nothing to fix the code and landed up really being the o2 sensors. Can anyone confirm?

U didn't happen to just grease the u joint? With red grease? Sometimes the grease gets hot and turns to a liquid. It doesn't appear that the slip yoke is leaking. How about that balancer? Is it an oil filled one or just rubber and steel? An old trick to find oil leaks is clean it real good and spray desonex on it. Im not sure if I spelled it right but its an atheletes foot spray. Basically it will dry making a white powder and when oil leaks it will make it a dark greyish color.
I don't know a lot about cel #'s but if u had it checked at an auto parts store with a cheap scanner it could be anything. Sometimes its a code that comes up caused by something else.

Very common issue on dodge trucks, everyone I have seen at the shop I work at was fixed by changing the sensor and solenoid. Could there be a weird issue causing it, yes, but not very likely.

On the leak at the tail shaft. Check the the slip yoke where the seal rides for a groove cut in it by the rubber seal. Before I started working on cars I never would have believed that a rubber seal could cut steel but it can. Usually you can drag your finger nail across and feel it. It there is a groove you will need a new slip yoke and seal to fix it.
