darn tricky one to figure out, both mechanics told me when temps go up i will get problem more...at the end of the day if there is a leak that needs to be addressed first as cant be good....tad surprised that hasn't been first port of call by new mechanic, I will gently nudge him to check this (first one had told me he checked but as mentioned there was no sign at all of the splash gaurd having been removed which is only way to reveal transmission gubbins, so don't trust him, mind you he may have used an endoscopic camera)
