How can I Stop My Transmission From Leaking Fluid?

#driveyourlife

Have you ever looked under your car and found that it was leaking some sort of fluid that you didn’t even know your car had in it?  Most of us know engine oil is brown or black, coolant is usually green, but you usually don’t see a red fluid.  Automatic transmission fluid is still oil, but usually thinner than engine or gear oil and tinted red in color.  If you’ve found that your car is leaking oil and it fits this description, then you most likely have a transmission leak.

How to identify an automatic car transmission leak

To check for a leak in your automatic transmission, you can do a visual inspection to try and find the leak point.  Here are some of the most likely places to check:

Automatic car transmission leak points:

  • Drive shaft seal
  • Transmission pan seal
  • Input shaft seal
  • Valve body seal

Transmission leak fixChecking your transmission fluid level can also be confusing.  Unlike your engine oil your transmission fluid level needs to be checked while your vehicle is parked and running.  The dip stick will often have a red cap on it and be towards the rear of the engine near the firewall.  There will be 2 different level indications on the dipstick, one for when the fluid is cool, and one for when the fluid is warm.  Your automatic transmission fluid level should indicate in the “cold” range when you first start your vehicle and haven’t yet driven.  It should indicate inside the “hot” range after you’ve driven your vehicle relatively hard, for example, up a long hill, towing, or with the transmission in a lower gear to increase engine RPM.

Once you’ve identified your leak either by a low fluid level or visual inspection, the next question is: How much will this cost to fix?  If you let your transmission operate with a low fluid level, it will cause it to start shifting hard, but eventually will cause permanent damage and could cost thousands to replace.

How to fix a transmission leak and avoid high transmission leak repair costs

350x200_TSLIf you’ve ever had to learn the hard way just how much it costs to fix a transmission leak you’re well aware for the need to avoid that expense again. The best way to prevent these high transmission repair costs is to use BlueDevil Transmission SealerBlueDevil Transmission Sealer is added directly to your automatic transmission with no need to do a fluid change. Just add BlueDevil Transmission Sealer and it will work as you drive to seal your leak.  As you drive, Transmission Sealer will be absorbed into the worn out seals and gaskets in your transmission restoring them to their original size and sealing properties.

    Can I use Blue Devil oil stop leak to seal an automatic transmission pan gasket?

    • BlueDevil Pro on August 19, 2013 at 1:58 pm

      I would recommend our BlueDevil Transmission Sealer: https://gobdp.com/transmissionseal.html

        I have a Ford F250 1999 pick up truck and the front main seal is leaking. Will this work to stop that leak ? How much shouldI use ?

        • BlueDevil Pro on March 17, 2016 at 11:55 am

          Rebecca-

          Yes, BlueDevil Transmission Sealer will work to stop the leak coming from your front seal. Based on the capacity of your transmission we recommend adding 1/2 of the bottle (8 ounces) to your transmission. You can expect to see results after about 100 miles of driving.

          Thanks!

        My 2003 Chevy Avalanche just stopped accelerating while driving, when I pulled the truck over I noticed all of the transmission fluid has leaked out. I purchased a brand new transmission in 2009 and I don’t think I should need a new one so soon. Do you think simply adding more fluid could fix the prob or are there any other cheaper alternatives other than purchasing a new transmission.?

        • BlueDevil Pro on September 15, 2016 at 8:58 am

          Anthony-

          Thank you for asking about your Chevy Avalanche. Unfortunately, it does not sound like simply adding more fluid would correct the problem. We recommend using the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer, http://store.gobdp.com/transmission-sealer-00236/. You would fill the system with transmission fluid, leaving just enough room for the recommended amount of the product. You will be using one oz. of the product per quart of fluid in the system. You should expect to see results after about 100-200 miles of driving.

          Thank you!

            BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is designed to stop transmission fluid leaks coming from any of the rubber seals or gaskets. We recommend adding the proper amount of BlueDevil to stop your fluid loss. You should apply 1 ounce of BlueDevil per every 1 quart of fluid capacity. Expect to start seeing results after approximately 100 miles of driving.

          I have a Ford F-150 2003 and it’s leaking a red liquid substance underneath my truck how will I able to fix that on my own then taking it to a mechanic.

          • BD Auto Pro on November 15, 2018 at 12:47 pm

            Christian,

            Thanks for your question about your Ford F-150. If the fluid is red then on your truck it would either be power steering fluid or transmission fluid. Your transmission is back behind your motor so if it is leaking you would most likely see drips about in the middle of your truck. Your power steering system is in front of your motor so if you see drips up by the wheels or towards the front of your truck. If you look underneath and find out where the leak is, simply add the appropriate leak stop product to that component and you’ll be on your way to fixing your issue!

            Thanks again for your question!

        • BlueDevil Pro on December 13, 2016 at 2:48 pm

          Penny-

          I assume you are referring to a transmission fluid leak. If that is the case then we recommend adding the proper amount of BlueDevil Transmission Sealer (http://store.gobdp.com/transmission-sealer-00236/). Based on the transmission capacity of your Ford Escape you should add 10 ounces of BlueDevil.

          One model of the 2005 Ford Escape is equipped with a CVT Transmission; if yours is equipped with the CVT then we do not recommend adding our product. CVT transmissions require a very specific type of fluid that can not be mixed with anything.

          Feel free to contact us at 888-863-0426 with any questions.

If I drive it forward a bit, then reverse it, it will work. I went underneath the truck and noticed that the transmission pan is a wet. It has been leaking fluid. What do you recommend I do?

    • BlueDevil Pro on April 23, 2014 at 12:33 pm

      BlueDevil Transmission Sealer would be appropriate to stop your leak. The reason the transmission may be hesitating is because of the fluid being to low.

      When you add the product, be sure to use one ounce of BlueDevil per one quart of fluid capacity.

      • Dustin on February 24, 2016 at 4:58 pm

        will adding more then one per quart make it leak worse ?

        • BlueDevil Pro on February 25, 2016 at 8:34 am

          Dustin-

          Adding more than one oz of the Transmission Sealer per quart of fluid may make the leak worse if you are overfilling the system. It is not one of those things where more of the product would be better, so you really only want to add the recommended amount. Also, you should not overfill the system, as this could cause further issues.

          Thank you!

        • BlueDevil Pro on January 21, 2015 at 2:05 pm

        Hi. I drive a 1998 Ford F150 Automatic. It has a very slow transmission leak(10-20 Drops within 24 hours). How can I fix the leak?

          Jesse-

          We recommend using the proper amount of the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer. You should add 1 ounce of BlueDevil per 1 quart of transmission fluid capacity.

        HI,

        I HAVE A WJ 2002 ho v8 auto, with leaking transmission and also the seal cover on top of engine.

        Would Blue devil work?

        • BlueDevil Pro on June 17, 2016 at 1:23 pm

          Anthony-

          Thank you for asking about your Jeep Grand Cherokee. Based on your description, as long as you are not losing fluid too quickly, you would be a good candidate for the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer. You can expect to start seeing results after about 100-200 miles of driving.

          Thank you!

    I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe LTZ. I just came back from a 2 week vacation and when I opened the garage door I noticed a significant amount of transmission fluid on the garage floor. My neighborhood mechanic says it’s a leak at the front yoke and ujoint. Will this product work to stop the leak?

    • BlueDevil Pro on July 1, 2014 at 2:10 pm

      Based on your description it should work great for you! Use 1oz. of BlueDevil Transmission per quart of capacity. If you have further questions, please call 1.888.863.0426

    I have a 1986 Ranger with automatic tranny that I believe has a seal leaking inside the tranny. RPMs increase between shifts from 2nd to 3rd like it may be having trouble holding enough pressure to shift. Once it shifts it pulls fine.

    • BlueDevil Pro on July 22, 2014 at 1:47 pm

      Gerald,

      You would be safe in using the recommended amount of BlueDevil Transmission Sealer. Keep in mind that it may take 100 miles or so before you see full results. If you have further questions, give our tech line a call at 1.888.863.0426.

Leak is on drivers side ,near the front of vehicle. Just ordered a bottle of your sealer, from blue devil. expect it in a few days. Anyway, I just top off my transmission fluid, to be safe.

      You only need to add 1oz of product per quart. Do not overfill with Transmission Sealer… top off with Transmission fluid. One bottle will be more then enough.

      Tonya,
      Thanks for your question. It’s difficult to tell from your description what your car is leaking. Try reading our article listing all the different fluids your car uses and how to tell them apart to find out what your car is leaking. You can read the article here: https://gobdp.com/blog/what-is-my-car-leaking/.

  19. Michelle Bailey on November 21, 2014 at 3:52 pm

    leak coming from the front. Says it could be anything from seals to the differential or more. I can’t afford $650-700 to repair it. Would this sealant really work? And do I wait until the fluid is low before adding it?

    • BlueDevil Pro on November 24, 2014 at 3:41 pm

      Yes, the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer has a very high success rate and will work for the type of leak you have described. You should add 1 ounce of BlueDevil to every 1 quart of transmission fluid (for instance if your vehicle holds 5 quarts of trans fluid then you should add 5 ounces of BlueDevil.

    • BlueDevil Pro on November 26, 2014 at 2:09 pm

      Charlie-

      If it is coming out as quickly as you pour it in then it may be too extreme for BlueDevil to work. If it isn’t a sever leak then the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer would be a great solution to stopping the leak.

    • BlueDevil Pro on January 22, 2015 at 9:44 am

      Ricky-

      You first may want to confirm that you are only losing transmission fluid. The BlueDevil Transmission Sealer will work to seal a transmission leak but if it is literally “pouring out” that may be a situation where the leak is too large for this to work properly.

    • BlueDevil Pro on February 3, 2015 at 11:02 am

      Moh-

      If the transmission fluid is actually leaking from the hose or hose connection then the BlueDevil will not work. The BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is specifically formulated to stop leakage from the rubber seals/gaskets.

  27. Charla on February 16, 2015 at 2:48 pm

    The dealer replaced the transmission on my 2nd vehicle, a 2006 Lincoln Mark LT a few months ago. Now it is sluggish when accelerating all over again and I have been told that it is leaking Diffrential fluid because it leaves transmission fluid on my driveway when I drive it. Is this a seperate issue or should it be covered under the warranty that came with the new transmission? Did they tighten or seal something improperly?

    • BlueDevil Pro on February 24, 2015 at 11:41 am

      Charla-

      I would first confront the dealer that did the transmission work to see if they can cover the repair under warranty. If not, we recommend adding the proper amount of BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak to help stop the leak from your differential. You will not need the whole bottle, add 1 ounce of BlueDevil per 1 quart of fluid; most likely you will only need to add 2 – 3 ounces of BlueDevil.

      We hope this helps!

    • BlueDevil Pro on February 24, 2015 at 11:52 am

      Rosita-

      We recommend adding about 8 ounces of the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer to your transmission fluid. The should eliminate the leak and prevent you from having to add transmission fluid in the future. Keep in mind, it may take about 100 miles of driving before you see full results; if you do not drive a whole lot it can take a couple of days.

      Thank You!

    I have a 1997 ford Taurus. I took it in to get a tune up because I was having trouble with my transmission. The mechanic told me that a had a front seal leak. I had to put in some fluid when I went on a 300 mile road trip but other than that haven’t had to put fluid in for the 6 months ive owned it. Can this product help?

    • BlueDevil Pro on February 20, 2015 at 1:55 pm

      Skyler-

      Yes, the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is made specifically for stopping transmission fluid leaks. It sounds like you are catching the leak fairly early so you should have no problem stopping it with BlueDevil. You should be adding 1 ounce of BlueDevil per every 1 quart of transmission capacity.

    I have a 2005 GM 3500 truck and the transmission fluid is leaking and I was wondering if the Blue Devil Stop Leak would help to stop the leak.
    If so, would one bottle be good enough to stop the leak. Also if I use the product would it affect the vehicle warranty?

    Thank you

    • BlueDevil Pro on March 9, 2015 at 10:06 am

      Roger-

      Yes, the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer would be appropriate and safe to use in your GM truck. You may want to check with the dealership on whether or not using this product will affect your warranty status. However, if the vehicle is under warranty you may be able to have the seal replaced at no cost.

      If you do end up using the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer you should add about 10 ounces to your transmission fluid.

      Thank You!

But I changed the filter, pan, pan gasket and fluid the other day the car drove for 10 miles, and the leak was not as bad, the pan gasket went before the front main one, Would this product wor for a car with 487,548 Miles?

    • BlueDevil Pro on March 23, 2015 at 10:22 am

    So the write-up describes your product being for automatics. Do you have another product for manual transmissions, or is this fine for manuals too? Mine is an old (’89) 5 speed, not exactly sure of leak(s) locations, but leak might be at rate of about 2 oz a week (?). sound potentially in the range of Blue Devil’s ability to remedy? thanks!

    • BlueDevil Pro on April 15, 2015 at 11:18 am

      Gary-

      The BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is compatible with automatic and manual transmissions. Keep in mind, you need to add 1 ounce of BlueDevil per every 1 quart of transmission fluid capacity; many times a manual transmission has a smaller capacity.

      If the leak is only coming out around the hose then this will not work. If the leak is coming out around any of the seals or gaskets then then the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is recommended.

      Once the product is added you can expect to see results after about 100 miles of driving.<
