An automobile transmission is a device attached to the engine that applies engine torque to the drive wheels in varying ratios. It's the device that you hear shifting as the speed increases to keep engine speed in a usable range.

The modern automatic transmission is full of a hydraulic fluid that flows through a maze of changeable passages to provide the various ratios that allow the engine to remain in that usable range. Like any device full of fluid, it has various seals and gaskets. As seals and gaskets age, they tend to break down and leak. For most seals the only remedy is replacement.
