I've been driving the Yidong for many years, and transmission connector oil leakage is really not uncommon. It's usually caused by the aging or deformation of the O-ring seal on the connector, or improper installation. You can first check where the oil is leaking from, wipe the surrounding oil stains clean with a cloth, and then start the car to observe for a few days. If it's still dripping oil, you'll need to fix it. Replacing the seal is very simple—just buy an original part online or at an auto parts store for a few dollars, remove the connector, and replace it. But be gentle to avoid damaging the interface. If you're afraid of trouble, a roadside shop can get it done in 20 minutes without costing much. Don't ignore this small issue—if too much oil leaks, the transmission will lack lubrication, leading to accelerated wear or even a breakdown. Checking the connector seal during regular maintenance can save a lot of hassle. Spending a little on regular maintenance avoids major repairs in the future—safety first!
