97 Blazer trans fluid leak
Driving home today something in the area of the where the trans filler tube and the transmission lines are started leaking and dumped all my fluid out causing me to have a not so happy day.

If you put more fluid in the tube does it leak out again? My 2000 project blazer has done this twice, but after i put fluid back in none leaked out. It was after i put in 4WD tho, so you didnt put it in 4WD prior to this happening by any chance did you?

Could be the trans cooler lines from the trans to the radiator sprung a leak. Usually they rust out wherever there's a clamp securing them. If that's the problem, you can use a piece of 3/8" rubber trans fluid hose and a couple of hose clamps to splice it back together. Must be stamped "transmission fluid" on the hose.

My problem is my floorjack and jack stands are in my parents barn, So i cant get far enough under it to see whats leaking, When i looked it was on the side of the highway while i was waiting on a wrecker.
I have had the gromet replaced where the filler tube meets the trans about 6 months ago, it is leaking in that same general area, Cant tell if its the gromet or the filler lines where its comming from. I havent added any more fluid to it as of yet its been sitting.
I am going to beg the wife to let me put the jack and jack stands in her car and bring em home so i can look under it.
I really hope its something stupid and easy. If its the gromet, The guy that fixed it is going to fix it again at his cost.
Stay tuned for updates.

UPDATE !
The mechanic at the shop where its sitting says he thinks its the front seal, even thou its only leaking on the passenger side front. The owner of the shop said he thinks i should " Just junk it" and then he turned around and walked away.
So now i am looking for someone that can put it on a dolly and bring it home.
If it was the seal wouldnt it be leaking on both sides ???
I am not a transmission expert so i dont know.
When i bought the Blazer they said the trans had been rebuilt ???? It seems to shift very smoothe and never used any fluids or leaked anything until saturday.

Mechanics are idiots
junk it for this? Transmission Part by Bulk Part Metal Clad Seals Seal, Front, Most GM small pump seals
I still think its the lines

I was just under it and found what looks like a hole for a drain plug in the bottom of the transmission pan in the area its leaking, It has no bolt or anything in it ???
Is this Blazer suppose to have a drain or vent hole in it ???
I am going back out and taking a picture of it now.
