Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by:

Worn o r damaged seals and gaskets: Over time, these components degrade and allow fluid to escape.

Loose o r damaged transmission pan bolts: Improper tightening o r impact damage can lead to leaks.

Cracked o r corroded transmission housing: Rust o r collision damage can create openings.

Faulty fluid lines: Hoses and connectors may develop cracks o r splits.

Identification Tips:

Transmission fluid is usually red o r pink and has a slightly sweet smell.

Look for puddles under the vehicle, particularly near the center o r front.

Check fluid levels regularly a sudden can indicate a leak.
