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 this under your car, then you most likely have a 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 Transmission Leak Points:
- Drive shaft seal
- Transmission pan seal
- Input shaft seal
- Valve body seal
Checking 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. he 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 dip stick, 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.
The best way to prevent these high repair costs, and avoid having to add transmission fluid every few days to your vehicle is to use BlueDevil Transmission Sealer. BlueDevil 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.
You can purchase BlueDevil Transmission Sealer from the manufacturer here: Transmission Sealer, or find it at your local parts stores like:

- Prime Automotive
- O’Reilly Auto Parts
- Pepboys
- Car Quest Auto Parts
- Advance Auto Parts

Can I use Blue Devil oil stop leak to seal an automatic transmission pan gasket?
I would recommend our BlueDevil Transmission Sealer: https://www.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 ?
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.?
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!

I have 1997 dodge ram 1500 2 wheel drive 5.9 letters. I started having issues with the transmission. I have noticed that every now and then the reverse gear will not kick in. 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 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.
will adding more then one per quart make it leak worse ?
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!

I have a 00′ Ford Taurus, when I let my car run I have fluids in the body on the driver side up front and the middle. Is this a transmission leak?
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://www.gobdp.com/blog/what-is-my-car-leaking/.
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?
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.
-BDP
I have a 85 D150 dodge truck. I have replace the transmission pan gasket and I still have a small leak on the gasket. Will blue devil fix the small drip?

My transmission fluid runtime out when it is put in the truck is a 1988 ford 150 it runs and is great on the highway will blue devil stop the out pour of transmission fluid

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.

I have a 2003 VW Passat and the transmission is leaking about a 3 inch diameter puddle after sitting over night from a 50 mile drive.

Yes, the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is compatible with your Tiptronic Transmission. You should add 1 ounce of BlueDevil for every 1 quart of fluid capacity.

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.

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?
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!

I was driving one day in my Nissan Altima & then i won’t not drive more for 15sec.I turned my car Off & then i started my car and it drove perfectly.I went to NAPA & they told me that I had no transmission fluid more ,they put transmission fluid for me.It have been 1week all & everyday in the morning i see a little leak of transmission leak (5 cm a 5 cm) .But during the day it doesn’t leak ,would this work?
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.

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?
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.
Thanks!

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
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!

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!

So I’m at a stop light and have to stop. So I stop. Then when the light runs green I try to go! The rpms go up, but I barely go anywhere. Then all of a sudden a jolt forward and go. Feels like it’s shifting weird. Then, I get home, have my bf check it out. My transmission fluid leaked all out. So we put more tranny fluid in. Went to put it in drive it wouldn’t move. Reverse, wouldn’t move.
Waited a little. Put it in drive, it went forward a little. Put it in reverse and IT WENT FORWARD.

Thanks for your question about your Silverado. We would recommend you use BlueDevil Transmission Sealer (available here: http://store.gobdp.com/transmission-sealer-00236/) to seal those leaks. BlueDevil Transmission Sealer will enlarge the shaft seal to seal that leak and your speed sensor is sealed by an o-ring, which should be sealed by BlueDevil Transmission Sealer as well.

The BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak is actually a universal application, and can be used in the transmission system. As long as the system was not overfilled and you are not losing fluid too quickly, you should be alright and the product should be able to help seal your leak.

I am not sure what the capacity is for a 2006 ford f150 with automatic trans but after driving last night— this morning I have a puddle underneath my truck and I was going to get some blue devil to put in with the additional fluid needed but I got confused on how much to add since I was not sure what the capacity is. can you tell me if I need to add more than one quart should I add say for instance 2 quarts of oil I would add (2 )1oz of the blue devil is this how it works? my truck is old but I need to keep it going as long as I can. thank you
Angela,
Thanks for your question about your F150. You should add enough BlueDevil Transmission Sealer for the total amount of transmission fluid in your truck. Your transmission actually holds over 13 quarts of fluid so you can safely add a full bottle of BlueDevil Transmission Sealer. After you add BlueDevil Transmission Sealer, top off your transmission fluid with the proper type by checking the level on the dipstick. The transmission fluid dipstick is yellow and on the passenger side of your engine bay behind your oil cap. You should check the level with your truck running and in “park”.
Thanks again for your question!

Unfortunately, we do not manufacture any products for that type of leak. BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is designed to stop leaks coming from rubber seals/gaskets.

Hi I have a 2007 nissan altima I am leaking transmission fluid. It is a fast leak. Will blue devil work for it?
Marla-
Yes, BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is specifically designed to stop transmission fluid leaks. As long as it is not pouring through transmission fluid there is a very good chance BlueDevil can seal it. Please note that 1 ounce of BlueDevil treats 1 quart of transmission fluid so often times you will not need to add the full 16 ounce bottle (more is not better). Once the product is added you can expect to start seeing results after about 100 miles of driving.
Thank you!

Sir
By using the Blue Devil, won”t it keep expanding the seals and make them too soft if product is left in??
Jeffrey-
No, the product will not have any negative effect on any of your seals or gaskets. BlueDevil is only slightly expanding the seals and rejuvenating them to bring them back to the original size and condition.
Thank you!

Hello, I have a 2000 Chevy Tahoe and have been noticing transmission oil on the ground. And driving out yesterday I heard a crackle sound like I rolled over a water bottle. But I didn’t though, I noticed my truck wasn’t speeding up as fast like when I was pushing on the gas paddle. After returning home right away, I tried to head back out and noticed the truck will not go in reverse but will go forward…..HELP does this mean my transmission is gone? I really hope not!!!! Can I use our product and it will fix the problem…..
Tomika-
Thank you for asking about your Chevy Tahoe. Based on your description, we would recommend using the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer for your leak. You may want to change the transmission fluid in the system first, as any build up or foreign substances in the system could cause transmission issues. You should expect to see results after about 100-200 miles of driving.
Thank you!

I have 2007 Nissan Altima 3.5 cvt transmission is leaking. Is safe use blue Devil To stop leaking…?
Jesus-
Unfortunately, we do not recommend using BlueDevil in a CVT transmission. Continuously Variable Transmissions are very specific as to the type of fluid that is compatible.
Thank you!
-BDP
You say “do not recommend” … Is that because is hasn’t been tested in a CVT or do you know for fact that it is harmful?
Rich-
CVT Transmission require very specific transmission fluid that should not be mixed with anything else. We definitely do not recommend the use of BlueDevil Transmission Sealer in a CVT Transmission.
Thank you!

I have 2006 autonatic kia picanto. I saw leak in my garage don’t know if engine oil or transmission oil. I had just change oil lately. Is blue devil oil will stop the leak? Thank you.
Shirley-
Thank you for asking about your Kia Picanto. Based on your description, the BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak is the product you would want to use. The Oil Stop Leak is a universal application, so that would treat a leaking oil pan gasket, valve cover seal, rear main seal, transmission, power steering, etc. You may want to check your oil and transmission fluid levels prior, as that would be a pretty good indication as to where the leak was coming from.
Hope this helps!

My 2002 jeep grand cherokee leaks red near the front/middle, slightly towards passenger side maybe. I add fluid all the time. It smells bad sometimes and smokes out the front. The other day It started shaking and wouldn’t go good when I got to about 50. Shaking bad. It only did this twice? I’m a no-nothing and can’t afford things. Will BlueDevil help this problem?
Maryanne-
Thank you for asking about your Jeep Grand Cherokee. As long as you are not losing transmission fluid too quickly, you would be a good candidate for the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer. You should make sure the system is filled, 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. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888=863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!

Is this safe for a Mercedes 722.607 transmission? if so the fluid level parameters are very specific and experts state that even a few ounces of transmission fluid over the limit for these transmissions can be damaging….somewhere around 6 or seven ounces of your product is required. Can your product substitute for 136 transmission fluid to bring it up to a desired level on the dip stick without damaging these transmissions?
Tony-
Yes, the BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is compatible in your Mercedes. You are correct in the fact that it is very important for you to not overfill the transmission. The product is not a substitute for your transmission fluid, so if your transmission fluid is already at capacity, you would want to drain enough fluid out in order to add the 6-7 ounces of the product needed for your vehicle. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

The front differential on my 1999 Chevy Silverado 4×4 is leaking. Do you have a product that can fix this problem?
Thanks!

Yes, we recommend using BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak (http://store.gobdp.com/oil-stop-leak-49499/). You should add 1 ounce of BlueDevil per every 1 quart of capacity; most likely you will only need 2 – 3 ounces for the differential. Once added you can expect to start seeing results after about 100 miles of driving.

Perfect! Since the 4wd isn’t engaged often, will that be a problem? Will it be necessary to run the truck in 4wd for the product to be effective? Thanks!
Mark-
The truck would not need to be run in 4wd for the product to be effective. Typically, you should expect results after about 100-200 miles of driving.

Hello,
I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe flex fuel and when changing my oil they said I had a transmission leak. After a couple days sitting on my drive way I noticed a small spill from the leak they mentioned. I was curious if this is good to use to try and fix my leak and if so how much should I use to try and fix it. Thanks
Eddy-

You can expect to start seeing results after about 100 miles of driving. Overall, the product carries a success rate that is approximately 90%.

Hello,
I have a 2004 Honda Accord EX 2.4L. I have a small trans leak, but the fluid is also in need of changing. Can I change the fluid than add this product, or would you recommend I add this product to the dirty fluid and change the fluid after the leak stops?

I’ve a Nissan Sentra 2007 and it is leaking transmission fluid and I’m unable to figure out from which part is it leaking from but the bottom pan is wet and a 3-4 cm puddle is being formed overnight. Would you recommend a sealer. If so, can you let me know how is it used and how much do I need to use ?
Thank you
Lakshman-

I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer and woke up with a large amount of transmission fluid on the driveway. Can BlueDevil transmission sealer seal the leak?
Smitty-
Thank you for asking about your Chevy Blazer. The BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is intended for leaks that are seeping or lightly dripping from the system. Based on your description, you may be losing fluid a little too quickly for the product to be effective. A hard part repair may be your best option.
Hope this helps!
-BDP
Please help! I was told to add the whole bottle to my transmission. Having trust in the person, i did. What do i do?!
Jared-
First off, it will not harm the system. If it appears the transmission fluid level is above the “full” mark then you will want to siphon some out as the transmission may act up if it is too full.
Feel free to contact us at 888-863-0426 to discuss the product and your vehicle.
Thank you!

I have a 2000 Chrysler Concorde LXi with the 3.2 Litre engine. I have 77,000 km on the motor. I have developed a transmission leak where the upper transmission hose goes into the radiator. It was very hard to get at to tighten the hose clamp and I left it up to a mechanic. My question is: Would your stop leak product have been any good to help seal these lines.
Thanks in advance.
Jim-
Thank you for asking about your Chrysler Concorde. The BlueDevil Transmission Sealer is only intended for the rubber seals/gaskets in the system. Based on your description, it seems the only choice you had was to let the mechanic do the work.
Thank you!
