A transmission leak is not just a mess on the driveway. Low fluid can cause delayed engagement, slipping, overheating, harsh shifts, and internal damage.
Send the vehicle, where you see fluid, and whether it smells burnt or shifts differently.
We trace the source of the leak before replacing parts, then check whether the fluid loss has already affected transmission operation.
Common leak points include the pan gasket, cooler lines, axle seals, converter seal, case connector, vent, or fittings near the radiator.
We inspect the wettest point, fluid trail, pan rail, line condition, seal area, fluid level, and whether the vehicle leaks more while running.
Winter salt around Arlington Heights can rust cooler lines and fittings, making small leaks worse quickly.
If the leak is caught early, the repair may be straightforward. If the vehicle was driven low on fluid, the transmission may need diagnosis for slip or heat damage.
We explain whether the job is gasket, line, seal, fitting, cooler, or deeper transmission work.
The estimate also covers whether the vehicle can be driven safely or should be towed.
Adding fluid without fixing the leak can buy time, but it does not solve the problem. The unit can still run low again.
Tell us where the fluid appears, whether it is red or dark, and whether shifting has changed.
