Transmission leakage

[Sazabi2001]

I heard some noice coming from the bottom recently. Just did a quick check, the transmission ground strap is broken and hanging halfway. So just small problem, made a copper bracket and it should last till next service, which would have a proper fix.

 

When I was installing the bracket, I got some wet feeling on my hand. Turns out the transmission is leaking between the main body and the bottom pan. Not too bad but still alarming, I don’t think this can be a DIY fix easily.

 

Not sure I got bad luck or the quality of this generation of IS isn’t so great. I had a water pump leaking not long ago (2 years maybe). But again I didn’t expect a transmission leaking on a car that not too old (14 reg with 80k).

If its red fluid then yes its your transmission fluid.

If its clear fluid its the Air con pipe releasing water from the condensation pipe it sits directly above the CTV transmission case. Its perfectly normal & put your mind at rest your driving a Lexus afterall
