why would automatic transmission fluid be milky?
○ leak detection dye contamination
○ restricted transmission cooler
○ excessive pressure
○ water contamination
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) appears milky typically due to water contamination. When water mixes with ATF, it can cause the fluid to take on a milky appearance. Leak detection dye contamination would usually change the fluid's color to the dye's color (e.g., red, green) rather than making it milky. A restricted transmission cooler or excessive pressure don't directly cause the fluid to become milky; they lead to other issues like overheating or poor shifting. So water contamination is the reason for milky ATF.
