✅ Yes — this is a commonly reported issue.

Signs: Reddish-brown fluid under the car, especially after parking

Main causes:

Faulty gaskets o r poor-quality sealant used at the factory

Transmission housing design flaws causing oil seepage after heating up

Loose pan bolts o r warped transmission pans after rough use o r impacts

🛠️ Conclusion: This is often due to a combination of low-quality sealing components and design flaws, especially under heat stress.
