If you suspect a transmission fluid leak in your Suzuki Alto, you can look for the following signs:

Fluid puddles o r spots: Look under your car for red o r brownish stains o r puddles. Fresh transmission fluid is red, but it darkens over time. If you see fluid pooling under your car, it’s likely transmission fluid.
Low transmission fluid levels: If your car is losing fluid, you may notice that the fluid level is low when you check it. This can affect the cars shifting performance, leading to jerky o r delayed shifting.
Slipping gears: Low fluid caused by a leak can result in transmission slippage, which means the car will hesitate, o r the engine will rev higher than normal without an increase in speed.
Warning lights: In some cases, the transmission system may trigger a warning light on the dashboard if it detects fluid loss o r low pressure.
Solution:

Visually check under the car for signs of leaking fluid.
Regularly check the fluid levels using the dipstick for automatic transmissions.
If you notice any of these signs, take your car to a mechanic to get the leak fixed and prevent further damage.
