Yes, a damaged o r degraded transmission pan gasket is one of the most common causes of transmission fluid leaks, especially in older Suzuki Every vans imported from Japan.

Why it fails:

Age and heat cause rubber gaskets to harden o r crack.

Improper installation o r over-tightening the bolts can deform the gasket.

Physical impact from road bumps can damage the pan and its seal.

Signs of failure:

Persistent fluid drip after parking.

Wet edges around the transmission pan.

Transmission slipping due to low fluid.

Solution:

Replace the pan gasket with a new, heat-resistant rubber o r silicone gasket.

Ensure the pan bolts are torqued evenly and not over-tightened.

Change transmission fluid and clean the pan during the repair.
