Why is my BMW 2 Series leaking red fluid under the car after parking?

I’ve noticed red o r pink fluid under my 2018 BMW 218i after it’s been parked overnight. It looks like transmission fluid. Is this common with BMWs in Pakistans hot climate, o r could it be a worn seal o r gasket? What should I check first?

Red o r pink fluid typically indicates a transmission fluid leak. Common causes include:

Worn transmission pan gasket

Loose o r damaged transmission fluid lines

Cracked transmission pan especially after hitting potholes o r speed bumps

Damaged seals around the torque converter o r driveshaft

In Pakistan’s hot climate, rubber seals may degrade faster, especially if fluid hasn’t been changed regularly. Get it inspected early to avoid serious gearbox damage.
