Some Ford Excursion owners report experiencing transmission leaks, particularly after towing heavy loads such as campers. These leaks often occur from the bell housing, with reports indicating that the front seal may be prone to leaking due to its compound. Additionally, some owners note that transmission overheating can exacerbate these leaks, leading to potential transmission failure if not addressed swiftly. To mitigate these issues, regular maintenance, including checking and changing the transmission fluid as outlined in the owner's manual, is recommended. Promptly addressing any transmission leaks is crucial to prevent further damage and ensure the vehicle operates smoothly, especially after towing.
