SERVICE INFORMATION
CVT related fluid leaks may be diagnosed incorrectly upon initial inspection, causing
incorrect parts replacement such as oil pan gaskets, axle seals, etc. To help
reduce/eliminate the possible return of an Applied Vehicle, first check for leakage around
the CVT fluid charging pipe.
When leakage is determined to be coming from the base of the CVT fluid charging pipe,
remove it to inspect, and if necessary, replace the O-ring (see PARTS INFORMATION on
the last page).
If needed, CVT leak inspection dye may be used to determine the source of the leak.

Refer to NTB09-140.
See example photos on pages 2 and 3.
Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are
properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job
properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO
NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle.
