Thanks to whomever built this forum.
I'm new to this forum and all kind of forums, sorry, please be patient.
I've a 2014 1500 Ecodiesel BigHorn with a lot of issues, (one is a flickering on the dash whole thing dimms up and down when cold), latest issue is a leak in what seems to be the transmission (red oil drops) anyone having transmission issues?
Tried to check fluid level without success. Couldn't find a dipstick.

Welcome
The "lifetime" tranny is sealed, thus, no dipstick.
I haven't heard of tranny leaks. That's a pretty good leak. I would suspect the lines or maybe it's the cooler. Try to find the source.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
I took the truck to a mechanic (Canadian tire) and their estimated price for repairs was $3500, it was to indeed replace water pump, disassemble and removal of AC lines (they are on the way), blah, blah, blah... without further ado... I traded it in after evaluating expenses and future mechanical issues... yes... I Quit.
