Preventing transmission fluid leaks involves regular maintenance and careful driving:

Check fluid levels regularly and inspect for early signs of leakage.

Replace worn seals and gaskets before they fail completely. In older Defenders, output shaft seals and pan gaskets are common culprits.

Avoid aggressive off-road driving on very rough terrain without proper underbody protection.

Tighten bolts properly after any service o r off-road repairs, especially on the transmission pan.

Use recommended transmission fluid for your Defender model to reduce internal wear.

Proactive maintenance and early detection are the most effective ways to avoid leaks and costly repairs in Pakistan’s harsh road conditions.
