COMMON REASONS FOR TRANSMISSION LEAKS IN A MINI
FROM EXPERTS OF SAN ANTONIO
2
The transmission system of a MINI plays a major
role in the distribution of the right amount of
power to the wheels concerning their speed.
3
The proper functioning of the transmission
depends on the fluid that lubricates each of its
components.
4
The transmission fluid also acts as a coolant and
a power transmitter, but being a fluid they are
even prone to leaks due to minor or critical
issues.
5
Here are some the common reasons for transmission
leaks in a MINI from the auto experts of San
Antonio.
6
LEAKAGE IN OIL COOLER LINES
In your MINI, the transmission oil cooler helps
to keep the transmission fluid from getting too
hot.
7
The friction generated by the moving parts of the
transmission cause the parts and the fluid to
heat up.
8
The constant exposure to heat and pressure, makes
the transmission fluid lines weak and can cause
cracks in the lines to allow the fluid to leak
through them.
9
CRACKS IN PAN GASKET
The pan gasket is a mechanical seal between the
transmission oil pan and the transmission of a
MINI.
10
The frayed and cracked old gaskets easily allow
the fluid to escape from the chamber.
11
Leaks can be caused by a puncture in the pan
itself or loose bolts and drain plug.
12
WORN OUT OUTPUT SEAL
The shaft present on the front of the
transmission, slides either into the clutch plate
or the torque converter with splines.
13
As these shafts or axles spin while you drive,
over time they start to wear down the seals
around them.
14
Even bad fluid or low fluid can cause these seals
to dry out, harden or crack causing leaks.
15
SYMPTOMS OF A TRANSMISSION LEAK
Driving the car with low transmission oil can
cause serious damage to the different components
of the transmission.
16
The first sign of a leak is the appearance of a
pool of transmission fluid under the MINI,
especially at the regular parking place.
17
It must be red or brownish and must smell like
petroleum and if it's time for replacement, then
it smells burnt.
18
Gives rise to drivability issues such as slow to
start, rough gear shifts, and coming of clinging
sounds.
