Hose was not stocked and had to be ordered and is supposed to be fed ex overnight. The tech said that there is a critical low level that would have triggered a dash light if enough fluid had been lost?

Might get it back tomorrow late, but I will guess Thursday.

I realized while trying to self diagnose this that there are no dipsticks to check engine oil or tranny fluid. It is all done electronically.
Glad to hear it was something minor. That hose or fitting must have really been exposed to wear through after 20 miles. Hope they make good on their Fedex overnight statement as parts have been notoriously slow.
