What are the signs of transmission fluid leaks in a Hyundai Tucson, and how do they affect performance?

I’ve seen some reddish fluid under my Tucson. Could this be a transmission fluid leak? How do such leaks affect the transmission’s functionality and lifespan, especially in Pakistani driving conditions?

Transmission fluid leaks often appear as reddish o r brownish puddles under the vehicle. Signs include delayed shifting, slipping, overheating, and unusual noises. Leaks reduce fluid levels, causing poor lubrication and hydraulic pressure loss, which harms gear engagement and overall transmission health. In Pakistan, rough roads can cause seals and gaskets to wear prematurely, increasing leak risks. Address leaks quickly by locating the source, replacing damaged seals, and refilling fluid to prevent costly repairs.
