Can poor road conditions in Pakistan cause transmission fluid leaks in the Oshan X7?

I drive daily on rough roads with potholes and unpaved areas. I’ve recently noticed signs of leaking fluid under my X7. Could repeated impact from these road conditions damage the transmission pan o r seals? Are there any known weak spots in the transmission system under the car that are vulnerable to such damage?

Yes. Pakistans rough, uneven roads—with potholes, speed breakers, and unpaved areas—can cause physical impact to the transmission pan, cooler lines, o r housing. These impacts may cause cracks o r gasket damage, leading to slow leaks over time.

Vulnerable areas:

Transmission oil pan under the vehicle

Cooler lines and fittings

Transmission mount area can loosen over time

Prevention tips:

Install underbody protection if you regularly drive off-road.

Inspect the underside every 6–10k km, especially after harsh bumps.

Avoid crossing high speed breakers without slowing down fully.
