1. Damaged Transmission Pan Gasket: The transmission pan gasket seals the transmission pan to the transmission housing. If this gasket is damaged or worn, it can cause transmission fluid to leak from the pan.
2. Loose Transmission Oil Drain Plug: The transmission oil drain plug is located on the bottom of the transmission pan. If this plug is not tightened properly, it can allow transmission fluid to leak.
3. Damaged Output Shaft Seal: The output shaft seal is located on the rear of the transmission, at the point where the driveshaft connects. If this seal is damaged or worn, it can allow transmission fluid to leak.
4. Damaged Front Pump Housing or Gasket: The front pump housing or gasket seal located at the front of the transmission, where the torque converter connects. If this housing or gasket is damaged, it can leak transmission fluid.
5. Internal Component Issues: In some cases, a transmission fluid leak can occur due to internal issues within the transmission itself, such as worn or damaged clutch plates, broken seals, or a faulty torque converter.
It's important to have any transmission fluid leak inspected and repaired as soon as possible to prevent potential damages to other components or even cause a complete transmission failure.
