Transmission fluid leaks in Suzuki Alto vehicles can happen in several key areas:

Transmission Pan: The transmission pan holds the fluid and is located at the bottom of the transmission. If the pan becomes damaged, such as from road debris, it can leak fluid. The pan bolts o r gasket may also loosen o r degrade, causing leaks.
Seals around the Torque Converter and Transmission Shafts: The input and output shaft seals can wear out over time, allowing fluid to leak. These seals are under constant pressure and are prone to wear, especially if the car is older.
Cooler Lines: The transmission cooler lines carry fluid to the radiator for cooling. If these metal o r rubber lines become cracked o r corroded, they can develop leaks.
Shift Shaft Seals: In some cases, the shift shaft seals, which help move the transmission gears, can leak if they are damaged o r worn out.
Solution:

Inspect the transmission pan, cooler lines, and shaft seals for visible signs of damage o r wear.
If any of these parts appear damaged o r compromised, they should be repaired o r replaced promptly to avoid further fluid loss.
