Reference 2004 Jaguar XKR 4.2. Transmission fluid leak from connector sleeve and/or fluid pan. Question: How can I check

Welcome to Just Answer I'm Chris aka Moose, I'm sorry you are having problems with your XKR. I will do my best to help you get this resolved. If I happen to be helping another or step away during our communication, please know I will follow up as soon as I am back available/online.

How can I check the transmission fluid level? How can I add transmission fluid? Both procedures are done from under the vehicle at the drain and fill plugs. Here is the procedure https://www.dropbox.com/s/f0gtzwl0vdau7w4/XKR%20fluid.pdf?dl=0

How much fluid does the system hold? The 6HP26 holds a total of10 quarts if the converter, cooler, and internal transmission are dry. When doing a fluid service you are only exchanging about 5 qts.

New transmission oil will be ruby red. If the fluid is very old or contaminated with friction material or burnt from overheating. The fluid will be a brownish color.

You are correct, a new question must be opened for new concerns or new vehicles.
