Transmission Fluid

FLUID LEAKS ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE! - Learn to spot transmission leaks. If you normally park in a garage or driveway, look for fresh (still wet) oil stains under the front center of the vehicle. If you park on the street or in different spaces everyday check for oil stains before and after you’ve parked there to see if you left any new ones.
