Hazard

The breather pipe that releases pressure from within the transmission to the exterior has an improper shape. During high-speed, high-load operation, when internal transmission pressure rises, transmission oil may leak from the breather pipe. Leaked oil can contact high-temperature components, potentially resulting in fire.
