Hi
I noticed some drops of oil on the back of my 2013 Hilux SR after driving for about an hour! On closer inspection I found that oil appeared to be coming from a sender unit at the front drivers side of the transmission.
Next day I booked it in at the local dealer, when I picked the car up they said the oil had come out of the breather which was a normal thing when the transmission got hot. When I asked why would the transmission get hot, they said towing or hard driving, neither of which I was doing!
Then they gave me a bill! I said that I thought it would be covered by warranty they checked with the service manager and he said the transmission was supposed to blow oil out the breather when it gets hot so was not covered by warranty! I was gob smacked!
I'm I out of touch and being unrealistic? Is this normal procedure? Is it normal for the transmission to leak oil out the breather and if so why would it be getting hot?
TKS for any feedback or tips
