Well Troy, I am glad you're on our side. I popped the hood and took a look at the breather. It was your standard 5/8" hose with one of those caps they put on breathers. I popped the top off and noticed that there was a lot of gunk crammed under the cap. So much so that it's conceivable it was sealed instead of breathable. I cleaned it out real good and put the cap back on.

It's hard to see since the dipstick is so close to the firewall but I don't see tons of fluid migrating down from the area that would explain the puddles I see on the ground. I am going to run it over to the carwash and pressure clean the underbody and see what it looks like in the AM.

Just so I am armed for conversation, are you saying that if the breather was sealed, it would cause the tech to misread how much fluid is in there? I have also only located one breather extended, I asked them to extend the t case and the tranny. If they ran joined the two breathers and ran one 5/8" hose, would that be a problem? I am not sure if these are high pressure systems.

Thanks guys.
