Why is my 2007 Nissan Altima leaking transmission fluid?
This morning I found red fluid on the ground underneath my car. I called my dad and he said it’s transmission fluid so I need to get my car fixed. Why is my 2007 Nissan Altima leaking transmission fluid?

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear about your car, but it’s good you caught it now so you can go get it fixed.
If your
car
is leaking transmission fluid, you most likely have a transmission leak. If too much fluid leaks out, the transmission will start to slip and cause long-term damage. The transmission fluid is also flammable, so any leak needs to be dealt with right away. Take your car to a trusted mechanic immediately.Here are four common causes of transmission fluid leaks in Nissan Altimas:
- Faulty seals: bad seals can’t hold the pressure needed to contain transmission fluid.
- Leaky torque converter: transmission fluid will leak from internal damage or cracks.
- Transmission pan or gasket: these can wear down easily and leak transmission fluid.
- Line issue: the lines connecting the radiator to the transmission will leak transmission fluid if they are damaged in any way.
