If you decided to have a professional mechanic fix your transmission fluid leak, do not move the car until you confirm the severity of the hole. For example, if you see a small puddle of fluid under the car, drive the vehicle slowly to the nearest repair shop and get it fixed. However, if you see a lake like fluid under the car, you might need to call a towing to take your vehicle to the repair shop.
If you decided to fix the transmission fluid leak on your own, there are specific tools and equipment you need to get ready before starting the repair. You can also do a quick search on YouTube and Google to see if other people had a similar problem. Understanding a video on how to fix your problem can help you decide if you can do it on your own or if you have to take it to a mechanic. Once you collected the required tools and had an idea of what to do precisely, it is the time to drain the transmission fluid.
In some modern vehicles, there is a drain plug where you can simply open and drain the fluid out. However, in older cars, you might need to unbolt the pan and drain the liquid out of it.

If the fluid leak is due to a crack in the low-pressure backlines, you can simply replace the cracked segment of the lines. However, if the fluid leak is due to a break in the high pressurized lines, you need to replace the entire route.
Changing the transmission gasket is one of the most straightforward leak fixes. If you already drained the fluid and removed the transmission pan, you can simply remove the old gasket and install the new one. If the cause of the transmission fluid leak is a worn or broken pan, you can simply order a new one from any auto part stores. Similar to changing the gasket, changing the transmission pan is very simple. Just unbolt the old container and install the new box.
Make sure to tighten the bolts and avoid any further leaks. Of course, changing the transmission pan requires replacing the pan gasket as well.
