m135i Leaks

[lakjam83]

Hi all, have any of you had any leaks undercarriage? Got the car hoisted up and quite obvious it's coming from the tranny. Car still under warranty and booked to go in. Anyone had any issues not being able to rectify?

Thank you!

Is the leak from directly near the rear of the transmission sump?

hello whiskie, yup! Are you able to see the two images below?

Yup can see. Is there anything above the area? I had similar issue, but was traced to aircon condensation that’s been dripping down instead. Yours does looks like oil leaking from the gasket. If it’s really leaking, changing the sump and replace atf will do. And do it soon. U wouldn’t want to wait till the tranny is Low on fluid.

How's your M135 doing? What's the verdict mate?

usual culprit, turbo pipe.

Ouch. Hope it didn't cost you a lot to get it fixed. At least you know what the cause is now.
