Transmission fluid leaks can show several noticeable signs:

Puddles o r Stains Under the Car:
Reddish o r brown fluid spots on the ground are common indicators of transmission leaks.

Low Transmission Fluid Warnings:
Dashboard alerts o r warning lights may indicate insufficient fluid levels.

Delayed o r Rough Gear Shifts:
Low fluid due to leaks can cause jerky, delayed, o r hard-to-engage gears.

Burning Smell:
Leaked transmission fluid can overheat on hot engine parts, producing a burnt smell.

Detection:
Owners should check fluid levels regularly and inspect the underside of the car, especially around the gearbox, for red-brown stains.
