I think my ATF pan is leaking... :(
Had a little puddle in the original spot, I move the car and after 3 days, I got this smaller puddle... Looks like towards the rear of the pan, its wet looking.. Anything else around there that would leak ?
First I though it was oil, but the oil plug was way up front Anyone had this issue before ? I hope it's something small |

Glad you caught it. That plastic pan assembly is filter, pan and gasket in one (I'm not sure if it is a oring type of material or a harder rubber). I'd suggest takin the pan off and inspecting for a crack, or hopefully a loose or missing bolt. It would only cost you the replacement fluid. Worse case scenario a new pan/filter combo will cost about $260 from Tisher or BavAuto. |

I'm going to take a wild @ss guess, you let me know if I'm right or wrong.
This is a 2006 or later Z4, post face-lift, correct? D'uh. The warranty expiration date should have been a dead give-away. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...47&hg=24&fg=15 Part number 1 on the diagram, PN 24347588725...A Mechatronic sealing sleeve, a $17 dollar part, is broken. NORMAL. All post facelift automatic Z4s will eventually suffer the same fate.

Happens often enough for me to know exactly what it is when I figured out the car's a post facelift.

I'm assuming from the other instruction that they're going to remove pan.. if they remove pan, they gotta drain the old ones out right ? and hopefully they dont top off using the old fluids.. so its like a DIY fluid change..

When I had mine fixed they said they had to let it cool down and were going to replace the seal. No mention of new fluid on the tech sheet. I would guess they would have noted it if they replaced all the fluid. Ask the service guy. Good luck
