4. Transmission leaks
We all see leaks under our cars from time to time, and they’re often harmless ones caused by things like water dripping from the air conditioner, but if you notice frequent spots or if it’s not air conditioning season, plain cardboard paper under your vehicle so you can collect a sample of the leaked fluid.
The transmission fluid is usually bright red. If you see this color on your cardboard, you may have a hole that needs patching.
If you see a dark red or brown color, this could mean that transmission fluid is not only leaking but also needs to be changed.
5- Warning lights
Is the Check Engine light on? On its own, this is not necessarily something to worry about but if there is a warning light in your car and you notice one or more of the above signs of trouble, it is best to have your vehicle checked. An auto mechanic can use a code reader to find out what turns on the check engine light.
