Possible causes of oil leakage from the automatic transmission torque converter:
* Damaged torque converter seal: This is a rubber seal that prevents oil from leaking between the torque converter and the transmission. Age, wear, or improper installation may cause damage.
* Worn friction linings: The friction linings inside the torque converter can wear out over time, causing oil to leak through the gaps.
* Damaged torque converter housing: A severe impact or collision may damage the torque converter housing, causing oil leakage.
*Low transmission fluid: Low fluid levels can cause cavitation in the torque converter, damaging friction linings and causing oil leaks.
* System pressure problems: Excessive system pressure can damage seals and seals, causing leakage.
* Torque Converter Overheating: Overheating the torque converter due to heavy towing or excessive slipping can damage seals and cause leakage.
Signs of oil leakage from the automatic transmission torque converter:
* A puddle of red or brown oil under the car
* Slipping or jerking when shifting gears
* Increased transmission fluid consumption
* Smell of burning or smoke
Consequences of an unresolved leak:
If a torque converter oil leak is not addressed, it can lead to more serious problems such as:
*Transmission damage and costly repairs
* Overheating, wear and failure of automatic transmission
* Risk of fire due to oil leakage
Actions in case of leakage:
* Check the transmission fluid level and add it if necessary.
* Check under the car for oil puddles.
* If you find a leak, take the vehicle to a service center for diagnosis and repair.
* Avoid towing heavy loads until the leak is resolved.
