I have a 2018 4wd 170" sprinter with 5000 miles on it.
This has happened twice now. I back the sprinter up to the garage so that the side door is more accessible for loading camping gear. It sits for a day or two while we get everything ready. The driveway has a 3% slope to it (front wheels are about 6" lower than rear wheels. There is no problem at this point. The day we get ready to go, I start the van and go forward and backward to move it closer to the water hydrant to fill our water tanks. This takes about three forward/reverse shifts to get it in place. When I get out, there is red oily fluid under the front of the van (about 4 oz.) It appears to come from the transmission right above the front differential and half shaft on the passenger side. There is a cable or wire loom that enters the transmission at this point also. This is the only time this has happened. I just ran a scan with my Autel MD 808 Pro and no codes came up.
Anybody have any ideas?
