Transmission Fluid Leaking Red

When your car is leaking red fluid you need to visit a transmission repairshop soon. Is there a reddish-colored fluid pooling under your vehicle where you parked it? Reddish leakage of fluid from your car is a telltale sign that your transmission has leaked. There is precious little time to waste: your vehicle needs to be serviced before you suffer a costly, full-on transmission failure.

While most transmission fluids are red some are not including cvt transmissions which can be blue, or green. You need to be aware of any type of fluid leaking under your car other than water condensation from an ac unit. As if its not transmission fluid it could be something else that can be just as costly or dangerous if it runs out of fluid.


Automatic transmission systems have numerous seals and gaskets to control the hydraulic fluid flow. The front and back seals are the two main seals that prevent the leakage of your transmission system. Any standing fluid on the ground where your car was parked can indicate that there is a worn-out seal or gasket in your transmission.


Your car can't work without the transmission fluid. A low level of transmission fluid or aged, dirty transmission fluid can also cause major problems with slipping the gear and cause major damage throughout the network. If the transmission fluid drops below a specific level, the lubrication will be less efficient and the transmission pressure will decrease. This can cause real harm to other parts of your transmission.

If you know your transmission fluid is low then get it check out soon as transmission fluid doesn’t evaporate so if it’s low then there is a leak or a problem. Minor problems like a leak can turn into major transmission problems if let unaddressed. Eagle Transmission Shop in Mesquite / Dallas Offers a Free Initial Check out of your vehicle.
