hi there

it sounds like it's coming out the over-flow pipe. i don't really know much about this gearbox (the 12v has a slightly different type to the rest of the range).

some of our members have the 12v and might know more. they normally check the forum in the morning. check back then.

regards

Hi Mort,
This pipe should be connected to the radiator!
There are two pipes between the gearbox and radiator for ATF cooling. They are metal with a rubber section to take up movement between engine/gearbox and chassis.
Cheers,
Mike

hi mike

we're talking about two different pipe/locations here. i'm talking about the overflow/vent pipe which is at the top of the gearbox housing, seen here (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/autotrans/A4LDeV612V.pdf) on page 8. this might hang down the inner wing.

you're refering to the gearbox cooling pipes at the side of the box (page 5 (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/autotrans/A4LDeV612V.pdf)).

just to clear that up.
