2007 Ford Focus 1.6l 4 speed auto. How to check atf level?

brembo26 · 2017-01-07 12:49:50

Hi all, just a quick question regarding my father Ford focus. Anyone know how to check fluid level in the the auto box? Seems to be a slight leak coming from the top of the box but havent got around to checking it yet. Would just like to keep it topped up until I have a right look at it.

Isn't there a dipstick for the gearbox? On the right in the engine bay, by the air filter.

There looks like something under the battery/behind the air filter area. Seems to be needlessly awkward to get at. :mad:

Thanks for the reply!

It is usually awkward to get to it because it's so rarely used.
I've seen them halfway down into the engine on some cars.

On last few autos I have driven the dipstick for the ATF has been yellow, not sure if it's a universal colour or not.
