Can bad roads in Pakistan cause transmission fluid leaks in Elantra?

I frequently drive my 2020 Elantra on broken and uneven roads. Could this be the reason why my transmission fluid is leaking? What components should I check for damage?

Yes, poor road conditions can indirectly cause transmission leaks. Heres how:

Impact with potholes o r speed breakers can crack the transmission pan o r loosen fittings.

Underbody scrapes on unpaved roads may damage the transmission cooler lines o r fittings.

Vibration and stress from rough roads can loosen transmission mounts and cause seal misalignment.

For Elantra drivers in areas with frequent road damage, it’s advisable to install a metal underbody shield if not already equipped, and have the undercarriage inspected during regular maintenance.
