The transmission fluid is an important component of the driving system of the car. It helps to absorb the heat evolved in the transmission channel and also allows swift changes in the gear. Generally, the leakage of transmission fluid is due to leakage in the oil pan, cracked fuel lines, broken seals or a bad torque converter. In order to know more details about the common causes of transmission fluid leaks in your car, take a look at the following slides.

1. What are the Common
Causes of Transmission
Fluid Leaks in your Car?

2. Transmission fluid defined to be the lifeblood
of automobile and used to remove the heat
from the internal components of your
transmission.

3. It is not only used to remove the heat but also
actuated for gear changes through the
hydraulic pressure.

4. But after using the transmission in the long
run, it will cause some issues in the
transmission like a fluid leakage.

5. If you find that the transmission of your car is
leaking, then you probably need to look at it
carefully for preventing the expensive
problems.

6. Here the following defined points will help you
to find the cause of transmission fluid leakage
in your car

7. Leakage in
the oil pan

8. The transmission pan is the most vulnerable
part of your car which is located at the bottom
of the gearbox.

9. As it is made up of thick metal, still
susceptible to punctures and cracks due to the
debris can lead to a leakage issue.

10. The oil pan are mostly damaged on a deep
pothole or running over a tall Kerb will lose
the transmission fluid quickly.

11. Cracked
fuel lines

12. The transmission, fuel lines are mostly used to
establish a route for the transmission pan to
the cooling chamber of the radiator.

13. Fuel lines are typically made from rubber or
rubber with metal screw type fittings at each
end to absorb the heat and expel through
transmission cooler.

14. Thus, the fuel lines are extremely durable, but
it got damaged by the debris or the exposure
to heat, then the line will break or crack leads
to leakage.

15. Broken
seals

16. For maintaining the hydraulic pressure of the
transmission, the automatic transmission
contains several seals.

17. Over time, when it's exposed to intense heat
can make the seals cracked and loss. That can
lead to transmission fluid leaks.

18. The broken seals which are responsible for
transmission fluid leaks are shaft seals, sensor,
and plug seals, housing seals and speedometer
input seals.

19. Oil pan
gaskets

20. When the oil pan gasket of the transmission
wasn't lined up correctly at the time of
installation can cause the transmission fluid
leaks in your car.

21. The oil pan gaskets of your car damaged or
cracked eventually due to the poor
manufacturing issues as well as the constant
exposure to hot temperature.

22. Thus, the replacement cost of oil pan gasket is
very cheap. But if you don't replace it, then it
can lead to more serious problems.

23. Leakage in
a torque
converter

24. The torque converter is placed just between the
transmission and engine flywheel to covert the
horsepower into hydraulic pressure.

25. Thus, the transmission is made up of metal
entirely, but the torque pump can be cracked
anywhere on its body.

26. The several kinds of internal bearing and the
turbine blades of the torque converter are
worn out and cause the leakage in the
transmission fluid.

27. Conclusion

28. If the leakage in the transmission fluid occurs
due to the loose in its parts, then your
mechanic will tighten the part.

29. If the leakage is occurred due to the damage or
crack of its parts, then it will be replaced by
your mechanic.
