It depends on leak severity:

Small seepage → can run for weeks with minor symptoms.

If fluid level s more than 20%, users report:

Overheating within a few days of daily city driving.

Slipping and delayed shifts after 5–7 days.

Full transmission failure can occur in 2–4 weeks if leak is ignored completely.

DCT is more sensitive to fluid loss than manual.
