Some Toyota Corolla owners report experiencing persistent transmission fluid leaks even after replacing the seal. These issues often stem from difficulties in accurately identifying the leak source, which may indicate that the seal replacement was not successful or that there are additional contributing areas. Additionally, some owners find that transmission fluid can leak into the transfer case due to seal or gasket failures, leading to ongoing leakage problems. If the leak continues, seeking a professional inspection from a mechanic or transmission specialist is advisable to diagnose the root cause. Regularly checking the transmission fluid quality and level is also essential, as contaminated or low fluid can negatively impact performance and contribute to leaks. Some owners utilize UV reactive or tracer dyes to help identify hard-to-detect leaks, allowing for more targeted repairs. Timely addressing of these transmission fluid leaks is crucial to prevent further damage and costly repairs down the line.
