V6 Tranny oil leak !
I have an issue with leaking transmission oil !
When the car was sitting in the garage for a couple of days I get a big spot of red oil on the garage floor under the car near or just forward of the shifter.
After seeing a post on this forum about the leaking seal I went ahead and changed it, but no change it is still leaking.
I have lifted the car again to clean and find the source, there's no point where I can see oil leaking but I have a mist of oil on all the underbody near and forward of the yoke. It seems that the oil is splashed by the rotation of the yoke or it's a mist comming from somewhere else. And after sitting for a day or two all that oil starts dripping.
I have check all the area I can think of for a leak, the shifter arm, the drain and fill plugs, the speed sensor and the top cover, but no sign of leak.
Where should I look now ?
Can the oil exit from a breather somewhere or an overflow ?
Looking forward for your suggestions.

i had a transmission line leak also early when i got the car around 10,000 miles. i just brought it in and the ford techs just had to screw something back together that somehow broke apart. it happened again after another 15,000-20,000 miles and had to repair it again. hasnt happend again but yeah, for some reason ford decided not to pay much attention to quality there.

Interesting - brought my 2010 V6 in today for an oil change, and they told me the transmission is leaking bad - and to get it in ASAP.
They tell me its not coming from the pan gasket - but they think from where the engine meets the tranny.... I've only got 14k on it... WTF!
