Hello everyone, I just bought a 2015 fiesta st about a week ago with 16500 miles. I don’t know much about cars, but I’m learning with this car. I noticed what i believe is transmission fluid leaking yesterday. It left a decent size stain in the driveway. It only leaks when the car is turned off. Any help on this topic is appreciated. I have attached a link to my youtube showing the leak.

As most of us here will say....either Axles seals or breather on top of the Trans is having issues from possible overfilling*

That looks like coolant my fellow FiSTer....is it under warranty via being just purchased? If so I'd be making an appointment with El Stealership*

Check the coolant overflow * if it's low, thats most likely your culprit!

The viscosity of that fluid is too thin to be Trans fluid also. Its dripping way to fast in the video...it flows like the salmon of Capistrano.

That is definitely antifreeze. Get that fixed as soon as possible.
I hate to say this but it looks like someone sold you their problem.

There was a recall for the 14-15s related to coolant leaks and I'd be surprised if this wasn't the problem. Time to go to the dealership
