I discovered a leak from the truck and noticed the rear hatch of the truck was covered by an oily substance, when I parked the car my garage filled with smoke. I brought the car to the service station I always use for my Blazer (not the dealer). As soon as they looked at the Blazer they said I was very lucky I didn't have a fire, it was transmission fluid that leaked from a defective transmission fluid line. The connector from the transmission to the transmission line was defective. Since the Blazer is 1700 miles over warranty, Chevy would not give me any satisfaction. The service station said the Blazer was not drivable and very dangerous. I have had the Blazer repaired and for a simple connector (because of where the connection is) is was $237 to repair.

While taking off from a stop bolts that hold transmission cooling unit and lines compartment broke, causing transmission hose to bust and fluid to leak everywhere. Blazer was towed to the dealership for repairs.

Transmission cooling line melted from heat that came from the exhaust system, causing fluid to leak onto the exhaust pipe which could lead to a fire. Dealer/manufacturer notified, and informed consumerthat they are aware of this problem, but have no solution. Can NHTSA help or provide addtional information at this time.
