Leakage Inspection





Special Tool(s)

CAUTION: Do not try to stop the fluid leak by increasing the torque beyond specifications. This may cause damage to the case threads.

Check the fluid filler tube at the transaxle case. If leakage is found here, install a new plug.

Check fluid tubes and fittings between the transaxle and the cooler for looseness, wear or damage. If leakage cannot be stopped by tightening a fluid tube nut, install new parts.

If the leak continues, install a new cooler line fitting and tighten to specification. The same procedure should be followed for fluid leaks between the cooler and the cooler line fittings in this information. The cooler can be further checked for leaks.

If leakage is found at the transaxle range selector lever, install a new seal.

If leakage is found at the transaxle harness connector, install a new O-ring.
The transaxle has the following parts to prevent external fluid leakage:
- sealer
- lip-type seals
- O-ring seals
- seal rings
- seal grommets
- thread sealant
- pan fluid
