Default Leaking red fluid.

[align=left]I went on vacation for a 10 days. When i took my Charger R/T out i found a puddle of red fluid where I had it parked. The car has 7545 miles on it. Is this unheard of for a HEMI? Could it be leaking from the transmission?

I recently had the same problem. Took it in and there is an o-ring on one of the transmission lines that leaks.

Tamsdriver's got it, there's a TSB on the tranny o-ring leak issue.

I know 74scamp had the leak and got it fixed but he's having the issue again... round two at the dealership. [>:]

No, I just had it once - it just took me forever to take it in since I don't drive it all the time. But it was no problem getting it fixed. In fact, I dropped it off in the morning and picked it up on my lunch break.

Good to hear and thanks for the follow-up. I hope it was as easy to get fixed as Dave's was.
