I have a small leak and it’s transmission fluid. It looks like it’s coming from the middle front behind the belts. Is there a drain plug for the transmission?

Good afternoon,

If you have transmission fluid leaking by the belt area, it most likely is coming from a leaking cooler line from the transmission.

I attached a picture for you to view of the location.

No, there is no drain plug for the fluid. The pan has to be dropped to remove the fluid.
