I know some of you will suggest to park the car in a dark alley with the keys in it, but short of that, please reach deep to see if you can help me out. With things going the way they are I cannot afford to abandon it.
1995 Ford Windstar GL
125K miles
V6 3.8L
Problems:
After we drive the car for more than ~40 miles, transmission fluid starts poring, NOT dripping, poring out the bottom of the car. When engine cools down, just a little, leak stops and does not leak, not even a drop, until I drive more than ~30-40 miles again. We can drive the van all around town, short distances, and it will not leak, not a drop.
So, I pulled the code and it shows: P0402, P1400, P1403, P1405, P1406, and P1507. I don’t think any of these codes have to do with the problem described above, figure I’ll just mention the transmission problem. Seems some of these codes contradict each other. Can someone explain what could cause all these codes. If you have any suggestion about the transmission issue also, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Bill

The P04 and the P14 codes concern the DPFE sensor. The P15 code is for a low idle. So look at the witing and hoses to the DPFE sensor to see if there is anything wrong there. If not replace the sensor. Ford has a lot of problems with those. The P15 code--look at the idle speed motor or possibly the throttle body to see if it is carboned up blocking air flow. It is possible the idle speed motor is bad also. On the transmission, look to see if the vent on top of transmission is open. If the vent is plugged, pressure builds up and will allow fluid to be pushed out.
Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
