  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Prius AWD-e’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Toyota Prius AWD-e leak transmission fluid?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Prius AWD-e, potentially causing transmission problems.
