I've had the 02 V6 4x4 AT since last August and it's pulled the Subaru Legacy Rally car and tow dolley without problems around the Southern California area.
Anyway went to do a rally in Vegas,got there fine but on the way home the long gradiant before Baker I had to do 5500rpm to keep about 55mph overtaking slower trucks etc.Nothing got hot.
We pulled off at baker for food,when returning I noticed fluid on the Subaru.Checking underneath the Xterra I noticed there was fluid everywhere.
It seemed to be coming from above the tranny around the shifter.Looked like about a cup full had come out.
So I checked the oil level which looked fine.We carried on and checked several times but no leak.
I think maybe there was to much fluid in there in the first place and maybe that high RPM had blown it out off a breather?
Is there a breather on top of the tranny??
I'm still driving it without any leaks.
Cheers
Chris
