It is extremely important to promptly detect and repair an automatic transmission drive oil seal leak, as this can lead to serious consequences for the vehicle:
* Loss of transmission fluid: A leak will cause transmission fluid to leak, which will reduce the fluid level in the transmission. This can lead to overheating, increased wear and possible failure of the automatic transmission.
* Fluid Contamination: Transmission fluid can become contaminated with dust, debris, and metal shavings. This contamination can damage automatic transmission components such as gears, bearings and solenoids.
*Slip and Shock: Low transmission fluid levels can cause slipping and kicking in the transmission. This occurs due to inadequate lubrication and pressure, making gear shifting difficult.
*Transmission Damage: A long-term leak can cause severe damage to transmission components. This can include wear on gears, bearings, couplings and other components.
* Expensive repairs: Automatic transmission repairs can be very expensive. If the oil seal leak is not corrected in time, the cost of repairs can increase significantly.
If there are signs of an automatic transmission drive oil seal leak, such as a decrease in the transmission fluid level or the presence of stains under the car, the following actions must be taken:
* Check transmission fluid level
*Locate the leak
* Replace the automatic transmission drive oil seal
*Add transmission fluid to required level
