I see the transmission pan gasket leaking a little, not dripping at all. I went and check the bolts and some are pretty loose. Can i just re-tighten the bolts down and be done? please advise

Thanks

Try tightening them a little, not too tight though or you will squeeze out the gasket, if that doesn't help drop the pan and change the filter and use new World standard Toyota transmission fluid then use gray silicone and install the pan.

I dont have the specs or a torque wrench, i figure just go around and just firmly tighten the bolts down for now. Should help the seepage. Thanks

When it's leaking you don't need to use a specific torque For them, doing it firmly should be just fine.

Yes that all i did so far and so far so good. Thanks

I was wondering if it was common for this to happen? If so then so much for World Standard ATF lifetime fluid. Lol


If its common and you have to change gasket you might as well change the complete fluid while you doing it or bring to dealer to have it service.

Look like still seep a little, may have to change gasket. My buddy been driving his IS350 for years with seepage and said transmission still drive great. lol
