Don't blow a gasket! No, really, I mean itdon't. Once you do you'll have your car's oil spilling out all over the floor like the Hoover Dam just burst open and drowned the state of Arizona, and everybody knows that's bad news bears. If you do notice a leak and it's not a major problem, you should probably take a look at the car's transmission. It could simply be that the gasket is old. A gasket is a seal that prevents leakage between two connecting parts. It is often made of paper, rubber, silicone, or a soft metal alloy that is bolted or screwed onto the surfaces. Transmission, transaxle and oil pan gaskets are specifically made to make sure transmission oil does not leak and cause the transmission to malfunction. The transmission on a vehicle is responsible for converting speed and torque.
Installation
If there's a leak in your transmission it will eventually cause a malfunction and you can kiss your joy ride buh20 minutes. If your car's company specifically states not to use sealant or adhesive, you can use petroleum jelly to help it stick in place as you bolt it.
