I have a 2002 GV Auto that was leaking some trans fluid when I bought it :'(. They flushed and filled the auto tranny and sure enough, it was still leaking. Took back to them, they topped off, cleaned the underside and told me to drive it a couple weeks and bring back to determine actual leak point. I did just that and they stated that they replaced the oil pan seal and tightened up some loose nuts on the bell housing which may have been the leak point and tightened up a couple of nuts on some tubes connected to the tranny. I brought it home and no leak for like a week. I drove it come home drove again and noticed a leak. This leak appears to come and go. No leak for a week and then I back it out of the garage and there a nice size deposit on the floor >:(. This is really getting frustrating. I have taken this thing to the Suzuki dealer 4 times now about this. Can anyone suggest what may be causing it. It is pink fluid so I am sure it is auto tranny fluid. Are there any common leak points with the 02 auto tranny. I am beginning to think this is a money pit. I just had to have the rear bearings/seals done on the axle at 926.00 dollars. I am afraid of what might be next. Should I ditch it for a Honda? I thought these things were pretty bulletproof. Sorry about the rant. I am spent!

Is this a 2wd or 4wd version?  There aren't to many places for it to leak really, so it's strange they were not able to pin-point the issue.

I hate the gaskets that are available for these trucks, the best
thing is gray silicone, glue that pan on and don't look back.

The problem is when they over tighten the pan bolts, the gasket
splits and fluid starts to drip.
