Why is there red o r brown fluid leaking under my Suzuki Mehran?

I’ve recently noticed red o r dark brown fluid spots under my parked Suzuki Mehran. I suspect its transmission fluid, but I’m not sure. How can I confirm whether it’s a transmission fluid leak, and what usually causes it in Mehran models?

Transmission fluid is usually red, brown, o r dark maroon, and a leak under the car can often be traced back to the transmission system.

🔍 How to Confirm:
Wipe the leaked fluid with a white tissue o r cloth. Transmission fluid has a slightly sweet o r oily smell.

Check if the leak appears directly under the center o r slightly left side of the vehicle where the transmission housing sits.

✅ Common Causes:
Worn-out transmission oil seals

Damaged transmission pan gasket

Loose o r corroded drain bolts

🔧 Solutions:
Tighten o r replace the drain bolt and washer inexpensive fix: Rs. 200–500.

Replace pan gasket o r seals cost: Rs. 1,000–2,000.

Make sure to refill with the correct grade of transmission oil GL-4 o r GL-5 gear oil for manual Mehran.
