Transmission fluid leaks in a Suzuki Alto can happen due to several reasons:

Worn-out seals and gaskets: Over time, the seals around the transmission pan, input/output shafts, and torque converter can degrade, leading to leaks. These seals are made of rubber o r plastic, which wear out due to heat and pressure.
Damaged transmission pan: The transmission pan, which holds the fluid in the transmission, can be cracked o r dented due to road debris o r impact. If the pan is compromised, it will leak fluid.
Faulty transmission cooler lines: The transmission cooler lines transport fluid to and from the radiator. If these lines become corroded, cracked, o r loose, they may develop leaks.
Loose o r damaged bolts: If the bolts holding the transmission pan o r other components are loose o r damaged, they may cause fluid to escape.
Preventive Measures:

Regularly inspect seals, gaskets, and cooler lines for signs of wear and tear.
Make sure the transmission pan bolts are securely tightened.
Use the correct transmission fluid to avoid excess pressure o r heat that can cause damage.
