it's easy to see once your under the truck. dosen't look to serious but I'll keep an eye on it.

I'm getting my cracked fog-light housings replaced when they come in. so at the same time i'll have them look at it.

I had the same problem with my truck. I was noticing some small red drops in the snow in the morning underneath the truck. Brought it back to the dealer and they said the trans. fluid hose got pinched somehow and was leaking. Fixed under warranty.

I am not sure how to go about getting it off. It doesn't look like it unscrews, no clamps I am at a loss.

I have dodge looking at the trans line leak at the moment waiting to hear back, and they don't want to replace my cracked foglights under warrenty, I'm gonna have him explain it when I pickup my truck he says its rock damage, I am skeptical.
