Can rough roads and bumps in Pakistan cause transmission oil leaks in Suzuki Bolan?

Given the rough road conditions here, I’m wondering if that contributes to transmission fluid leaks. Could potholes o r speed breakers damage the transmission o r oil pan of a Suzuki Bolan and cause a leak?

Yes, Pakistani road conditions are tough on vehicles, especially for commercial vans like the Suzuki Bolan. Many Bolans are used for carrying passengers o r cargo, and they often drive on bumpy roads, potholes, o r over sharp speed breakers.

These rough conditions can:

Damage the oil pan: A hit to the underside can crack the transmission oil pan o r loosen its bolts.

Stress the seals: Vibration and jolts can wear out rubber seals faster.

Dislodge hoses o r pipes: If the transmission cooling system o r fluid lines are disturbed, small leaks may start.

To prevent this:

Avoid high-speed impact with speed breakers o r potholes.

Install a metal underbody guard sump guard to protect the oil pan.

Regularly inspect the undercarriage, especially after a strong hit o r off-road trip.
