How can I prevent transmission fluid leaks in the Oshan X7, and what are early warning signs?

I want to avoid long-term issues with my X7s transmission. What are the most common reasons for fluid leaks in this model, and how can I detect them early? Are there visible signs, smells, o r shifting issues that indicate a small leak before it becomes a bigger problem?

To prevent leaks and costly transmission issues:

Prevention steps:

Get the transmission fluid checked every 10,000 km o r during regular services.

Change DCT fluid using Changan-approved lubricants.

Avoid aggressive driving in traffic and off-road conditions.

Ensure drain plug and pan gaskets are properly sealed during service.

Early warning signs of leaks:

Red o r brown spots under the car after parking

Rough o r delayed gear shifting

Burning smell from under the hood

Lower fuel efficiency if the transmission struggles

Check Engine Light CEL o r Transmission Warning on cluster

If any of these occur:
Stop driving the vehicle and have it checked. Running a DCT with low fluid can lead to complete transmission failure.
