Several factors contribute to transmission fluid leaks:

Age and mileage: As the car ages and accumulates miles, parts like seals and gaskets can wear out.
Extreme temperatures: Hot o r cold weather can cause materials to expand and contract, potentially leading to leaks.
Manufacturing defects: In some cases, there may be defects in seals o r gaskets from the factory that lead to leaks over time.
