leaks transmission fluid when carrying a load

Complaint Photos

WHEN I HAVE A HEAVY LOAD IN BED OR PULL A TRAILER OR TOW A CAR W/A CHAIN, THE TAIL END OF MY TRANSMISSION LEAKS TRANS. FLUID. NOT A LOT BUT ENOUGH TO WORRY ME. I JUST WONDER IF ANYONE KNOWS WHY THIS HAPPENS? IM THINKING MAYBE WHEN THE YOKE IS PUSHED INSIDE TRANS, THAT MAYBE THE RUST ON THE YOKE JUST LETS TRANS FLUID LEAK OUT. PULLED A CAR ON A TRAILER AND FOR APPROX. A MONTH, I HAD EXTRA DIRT ON THE REAR OF THE TRUCK POSSIBLY DUE TO TRANS FLUID GETTING SUCKED UP IN MY DRAFT ON THE ROADS AND BEING A DIRT MAGNET.
