Possible causes of oil leakage from an automatic transmission:

1. Worn or damaged gaskets and seals:

* Transmission housing gaskets
* Shaft seals
* Pan seals
* O-rings

2. Cracks or holes in the gearbox housing:

*This may occur due to shock, corrosion or manufacturing defects.

3. Filter installed incorrectly:

* Improper installation of the filter may result in leaks.

4. Damaged oil pipe:

*Pipelines may be damaged due to vibration, corrosion or mechanical damage.

5. Excessive pressure in the gearbox:

* This may be caused by a faulty pressure regulator or a clogged oil filter.

6. Clogged transmission ventilation system:

* This may result in increased pressure inside the transmission and oil leaks.

7. Incorrect oil level:

*Low oil levels can cause overheating and component wear, which can lead to leaks.
*High oil levels can cause increased pressure and leaks.

8. Faulty oil pump:

* A worn or faulty oil pump may not provide enough oil pressure, which can lead to leaks.

9. Worn clutches and brake bands:

* Wear on these components can produce metal shavings that can damage seals and cause leaks.

Note: It is recommended that you contact a qualified mechanic to determine the exact cause of the oil leak and correct it.
