Hello, I recently shipped my truck to east africa (work related) and am now experiencing transmission fluid leaking under flywheel area but only if car is worked hard (i.E. Heavy pulling, hard revvings). I basically have to drive it as though i'm driving on egg shells to avoid leaking. What gives? If I have to do the fix myself.I'm capable on that front, but if you can point me in the right direction I would be so grateful! Thanks guys.

If it is in the front only under a load it sounds like you have a pump leak. The pump is in the front of the trans and is what the torque convertor slides into and you have a input shaft seal up there also. Either way you have to remove the transmission to fix either of these to leaks. Rarely some fords have a drain plug on the torque convertor. U will need to get under the truck and get a big screwdriver and spin it little by little to see if you have a drain plug on the convertor. If that is the problem reseal it with a sealer and replace all the fluid you loose when u remover the plug.
