What Caused the Reddish Fluid Under My Car?

The Problem

The vehicle owner noticed two drops of reddish fluid on the ground beneath their car.

What We Found

The technician identified that the reddish fluid was transmission fluid leaking from a worn-out drain plug and gasket.

The Fix

The team at our Haines City shop removed and replaced the faulty transmission drain plug and gasket. They also performed a transmission fluid drain and refill, ensuring the correct type and amount of fluid was used. Additionally, a full synthetic oil change was carried out to meet the vehicle specifications.

The Result

After the service, the vehicle no longer leaked fluid, and it was returned to the owner in optimal condition.

Pro Tip

Reddish fluid under your car often indicates a transmission fluid leak. Addressing it early with a simple plug and gasket replacement can prevent more costly repairs down the line.

What Caused the Check Engine Light Without Running Issues?

The Problem

The vehicle owner's check engine light was on, but the vehicle was not experiencing any running problems.

What We Found

The technician found that the transmission fluid and brake fluid services were overdue by 58,536 miles, which could potentially lead to issues if not addressed.

The Fix

The team performed a full system fluid exchange for the transmission using BG fluid kits and replaced the brake fluid with BG Premium Brake Fluid. They ensured the system was clean and free of deposits, inspected for leaks, and conducted a test drive to verify the repairs.

The Result

After the services, the vehicle's systems were operating smoothly, and the check engine light was addressed.

Pro Tip

If your check engine light is on without noticeable issues, it might indicate overdue maintenance like fluid services. Addressing these can prevent future problems and maintain vehicle performance.

FAQ

Transmission Fluid Service in Haines City: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Haines City.

Will changing the fluid on a high mileage transmission make it fail?

Not by itself, and it isn't the automatic rule some people treat it as. What we do consider is how many miles are on it, how long the fluid has gone, and how the transmission is behaving right now. If we think caution is warranted for your vehicle we'll say so and explain why, and the decision stays yours.

Does my transmission have a filter?

Some do and some don't, and on the ones that do it isn't always accessible without dropping the pan. We check what your vehicle has and include the filter when yours is serviceable. If it isn't, we'll tell you that rather than charge for a part your transmission doesn't use.

Can I just use a universal or multi vehicle fluid?

We'd rather not. Many transmissions are engineered around one specific fluid, and friction characteristics that are slightly off can show up as shudder or poor shift quality. Using what your manufacturer specifies costs a little more and removes a variable you don't want in there.

How do you check fluid condition if there's no dipstick?

Plenty of newer transmissions are sealed, so checking is done through a fill or check plug and often at a specific fluid temperature. It takes longer than pulling a dipstick, which is part of why sealed units get ignored. We follow the procedure your vehicle calls for.

Does towing really change how often this is due?

Yes, and most owner's manuals say so directly with a separate schedule for towing or severe use. Heat is the mechanism, and a loaded trailer generates a lot of it. If you tow, we work from that column rather than the normal one.
