Over flow tube?

[mkmcgreg]

Just got finished towig a ranger to go wheeling and I noticed some oil coming out of a breather tube located mid tranny around the gear selector just wondering if this is normal and what this tube may be I would post a picture but edge network won't allow. 90 degrees here pulling a trailer up and down hills just wondering if anyone knows what this tube may be

This is the breather tube that I noticed the oil coming out of. It smelled like gear oil to me but not sure. Truck rode fine and got me home with issues so I am not sure what it was. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen with there's

That's right next to your transmission pan? I don't know what breather that is but I suspect the breather isn't in the right place - it's too low. Maybe the original front diff breather was relocated and/or cut. I think you might have to trace it back.

Yes above the transmission pan. I thought that too but it has a connection right at the end to hold it securely. I followed it for a while and about a foot from the end it Ts to a smaller tube heading passenger side then appears to head forward up towards the front. I haven't been able to find its origin yet. Truck still runs great so I am not to worries but still wondering what and why it happened

Mine has the same hose in the same location. All factory.

Just found out I think it is coolant coming from there I am low and my radiator is seeping out

Well I figured it out I am the proud owner of another 07 with a hairline crack across the top of the radiator anyone replace with an aftermarket unit. I am not too excited about getting another gm one that may fail the same way

Ron Davis radiators has one for the H3. Bebe had the first one.

I replaced mine as well but went with OEM

Had mine replaced with an OEM under warranty last winter. Dealer told me they are molding them with new revised composite in the tanks now, but I've seen nothing elsewhere to support that statement.
