Preventing leaks can save you from costly repairs and ensure smooth transmission performance.

✅ Tips to Prevent Transmission Fluid Leaks:

Change Transmission Fluid Regularly – Old fluid loses its protective properties, leading to leaks. BMW recommends a change every 40,000–50,000 km.
Avoid Rough Driving – Sudden acceleration and hard braking put stress on transmission seals, causing leaks.
Check for Underbody Damage – If you hit a pothole o r speed breaker, inspect the transmission pan for cracks.
Inspect Transmission Seals – Get a mechanic to check seals during routine maintenance to prevent minor leaks from worsening.
Use BMW-Approved Transmission Fluid – Low-quality o r wrong fluid types can degrade seals and cause leaks.
