The fluid may be transmission fluid coming from the front of the transmission in the torque converter area.<\/p>\n<p>Some transmissions may have fluid leaking from or around the torque converter fluid seal, which may not have been installed correctly during assembly. The seal may have been damaged during installation of the torque converter or may be excessively worn due to the improper installation.<\/p>\n<p>Check the torque converter fluid seal (Fig. 6) for any leaking or damage and replace it if necessary. Removing and installing a new seal requires special tools DT\u200923129 Universal Seal Remover, DT\u200949861 Seal Installer, and GE\u20096125-1B Slide Hammer with Adapter or equivalent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12696\" src=\"https:\/\/techlink.mynetworkcontent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F06-tc-seal-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F06-tc-seal-1.png 740w, https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F06-tc-seal-1-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F06-tc-seal-1-85x55.png 85w, https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/F06-tc-seal-1-200x130.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><strong>Fig. 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP:<\/strong> Support the back side of the torque converter housing while installing the seal. Install the seal until it stops moving. Do not apply excessive pressure to the seal once it is seated, which could cause damage to the torque converter housing casting.<\/p>\n<p>Also inspect the torque converter for damage. Replacement of the torque converter is not necessary unless a pressure test shows a leak or if there is turbine hub damage.<\/p>\n<p>Refer to Bulletin #20-NA-023 for additional information and part numbers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211; Thanks to Mark Kevnick<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fluid may be noticed leaking from the front of some 2019 XTS, Impala and Acadia models equipped with the 6T70, 6T75 or 6T80 automatic transmission (RPO MHM, M7U, M7W, M7V).
