Leaky transmission

[Rickyboy80]

So with limited experience with the Defender 90 I have to ask something about the transmission. The previous owner, more like storage person because he didn'g even drove it said that the transmission was leaking a bit. I checked under the car, but everything is wet so until i give it a proper undercarriage wash I won't be able to figure things out. So, about the transmission. If it's leaking whoever drove it probably didn't payed too much attention, so should I consider it toast and try to find a replacement or should I try to save it?

If it's just a small leak, it might be fixable with seals or gaskets, but if it's heavy leaking or slipping, replacement might be smarter to avoid bigger issues later

Don't write it off just yet is what I'll say, it could be the transmission, transfer case, or even just a weepy rear main making everything look worse than it is, I'd say once it's clean, check the fluid levels and try to spot the source

Everything is wet? Ok... that's a detail that you shouldn't overlook. I doubt it's just a small leak @Angel_Riz tbh. I guess if that's the case better bring it to a specialist. It's not safe to ignore this. I swear.
