Cincinnati, Ohio's Mr. Transmission is always available to help with your vehicle—but it's still important that you know what may cause common car issues, such as transmission leaks. This knowledge will help you identify the problem, and know what to expect when you bring your car in to this Sharonville car repair shop. 

Here are some common causes of transmission leaks, as well as the best ways to fix them: 

  • Loose Rocks or Debris on The Road: Loose rocks can be kicked up as you drive over them, and hit the bell housing on your transmission. This can cause significant fluid leakage that will make it difficult to even drive the car. Mr. Transmission will tow the car if too much fluid is lost, and depending on the extent of the damage, the housing can be replaced by a professional.
  • Everyday Wear And Tear: The transmission pan is susceptible to leaks from simple use over time. Loose bolts or drain plugs will also cause a leak. These bolts and plugs will need to be tightened securely in order to fix the problem. A damaged transmission pan will need to be replaced with a new one—a fairly simple process.
  • Warped or Worn Out Seals: The seals on a transmission may crack as they are constantly exposed to heat. The defective seal could be anywhere, so it needs to be located and re-sealed. There are products available to secure seals, but if there's a major internal problem as well, store-bought products can only do so much. 

You need to troubleshoot transmission leaks as soon as possible before more fluid leaks out, and the vehicle cannot operate. Transmission fluid is the life blood of your car, so keep your transmission in tip-top shape with regular transmission maintenance. If the transmission deteriorates too severely, a full transition rebuild may be necessary. 

Mr. Transmission can ensure that one of the most important parts of your car operates efficiently and effectively. If you see red leaks in your driveway underneath your car, be sure to call (513) 769-3111 as soon as possible.
