    Hello, I hope anybody can help me. My Tundra 2007 5.7 4x4 wit 113k miles has an issue, there is leaking transmission fluid. 6 weeks ago I have changed the transmission fluid (was leaking a little bit at the pan) and they put in a new seal. All the time everything was fine but this morning I saw that it is leaking (didn't use the truck for one week, even didn't start it).
    It seems to leak through the small hole. The engine oil pan also is a little bit wet.
    Maybe they overfilled the trans fluid, they told me that they used the whole canister (OEM WS).
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance!

    Check the fluid level...if it's off, take it back.

    It’s a little bit curious: I cleaned it and it was leaking again. Then I started the engine and immediately stopped leaking. Like I said, I didn’t use the truck for more than one week and it’s parked a little bit downhill.
    I washed the truck the day before yesterday and there was nothing. Therefore it began leaking after washing it without using it.

    I found this (exactly what I have) but it’s for 2021 models

    That is the problem. It's very hard to find a mechanic you can trust. You can't imagine what I have seen here... And the Toyota Dealership is not allowed to touch vehicles imported. Therefore I have to find out what exactly is/maybe the problem because I have to order all the parts in the US and every time it takes 2-3 weeks to receive them.
