Transmission Oil Leak

So I had my car parked for about a week. After a took it out I noticed some red fluid where I was parked in my garage. maybe about the size of a dvd. So I parked it again and waited a day or two and sure enough another drip. I have always had my oil changes at the dealership and I only have 8000 miles. I am barely getting ready for my 3rd oil change. Does anyone know if this has been an issue with our cars? Is there a TSB or anything for this? Has anyone experienced this and had it fixed? Hopefully my dealer with take care of it without any problems. Any ideas??? Thanks

You need to get the transmission O-ring replaced by the dealer and there is a TSB. I had the same problem (edited by Admin).

Have a nice day.

Not to worry. This is a common problem found by many of us. Here are some links that go into the issue of the “infamous” O-ring leak. Your dealership should know all about the problem and fix it very easily for you.

Funny I should read this.... I actually just got my car back from the dealer yestarday for the same problem, & I have 5700 miles. Nothing big, just like Danno said O-ring leak. They had it done in a day. The worst part of my O-ring leak was on the way to drop of the car to the dealership. Some know it all in a BMW 550i, kept trying to race me for 5 miles... Boy did I wanna fillet him like a fish, but I knew my car was leaking & had something up with the tranny & didnt want to risk breaking this beast. Plus I'm sure I'll catch up to him again.

It such a minor common problem, but without this forum’s collective knowledge I know I would have been freaking out when I first saw tranny fluid on my garage floor. Now I know it’s just a minor inconvenience to have it repaired.

Congrats on your repair…..now get out there and find that BMW….although Ft. Liquordale is full of them.
