matt2024 Report post Posted January 24, 2024 My 2010 Ford Escape XLT, 2.5 FWD with an automatic transmission is leaking transmission fluid. It started after having the drivers side CV axle replaced. Since then I have replaced the seal but it is still leaking. I am ordering one more seal... since the first was a durlast brand. I am going to try an OEM seal. But during all of this I found a crack in the rubber hose that connects to the top of the transmission and the top of the dipstick assembly. Ford want's $75 for the whole assembly. I only need the rubber hose. Has anyone swapped out just the hose? I see no need for swapping the whole tube assembly. There's no oil on the hose, so I am pretty sure the leak isn't coming from there. But it's cracked and brittle so I figure I will go ahead and replace it. If you did just replace the hose... which hose did you use and what size? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
