Can you tell where it's leaking from? If it's a slow leak, it's probably coming from a sensor somewhere on the transmission. Could be the oil pan or gasket, too.

Maybe it's motor oil. Check your levels in the tranny and engine.

Best way to isolate problem is to remove all traces of fluid using engine degreaser or diesel fuel. A good transmission fluid is pinkish-red but a bad/dirty one may appear brownish/blackish.

Once the underside of the engine and transmission are clean and dry, start the engine and use a flashlight or trouble-light to search for leak. Please note the leak may also be coming from the top of the engine/transmission. For your safety, ensure you have jackstands and wear safety goggles.

Bettawfeeq بالتوفيق!
