Red fluid leak. Transmission fluid?

You must remove the dead body from underneath first!

Walked out to my car in the parking lot and found what I think is the transmission fluid leaking.
Anyone had this issue?

Update on this:
Not sure what could have done this.

By chance, did you happen to run over one of those parking barriers that may have been covered in snow? The rebar sometimes freezes out of those things. Makes a nice hole puncher.

That's a helluva perfect hole, did you piss someone off in the parking lot?

Could someone have been looking to steal some catalytic converters from under the car, found it was too difficult, and decided to mess with you?

Good though. But no I was in a pretty clear spot.

People are messed up. I don’t know what they get from vandalizing shit. Must be just the adrenaline rush for them. Scumbag though for sure.

The mystery continues.

I currently get nervous about parking my bronco in a public lot in the city of Minneapolis. Once things warm up I'll get my full skid pads installed which will have me feeling a little better.

If this was vandalism, at least there's a good chance the perp took a nice Mercon bath in the process...

Obviously not the way you want to have to/be forced to do it, but looking at the reddish chocolate color of the fluid on the pan itself, it needed to be changed.

 

[Dino357]

I didn't think transmission has a fluid level sensor

No it there won't be any pressure or temperature if there's no tranny fluid

Definitely looks like a hole saw to me….I’d say about 3/4”……u can see what looks like the shavings when hole first breaks thru , not completely finished….that’s what it looks like to me
