Hi guys I need some help....I noticed some fluid this morning so I took it to Clear Lake Mini ...they said its transmission oil but can't say anything till they take the car in so I took it to a local repair shop and the guy there told me there is a leak in the transmission oil cooler!! Had anyone had this happen before? I tried to look it up but Ccould not find anything ... Please help

 

Browsing the forum on the same issue this thread was about. My son’s automatic R53 S has a small leak of tranny fluid. I’ve tried to see where the leak is coming from thinking it might be the axle output seals but it’s not. Then I noticed a small puddle on top of the block near the oil cooler. Haven’t had a chance to remove what’s in the way to get to it yet but wondering if anyone else has seen this issue and could tell me where it might be leaking from?
