Also, pray that the coolant leak is not coming from the bottom of the bell housing, in which case it would be the back coolant cover on the N62 engine that's leaking, accessible only by removing the transmission - part #5 End cover, rear # 11147504376

Thats why i ask if anyone have the same leak like me ...between engine and gearbox, but the leak is coming from the top, not at the bottom to be sure is that REAR END COVER

Yes mate, i know this video, thanks. But like the man from the video said, if i need to change this rear end cover, the water/antifreeze must leak at the bottom of the gearbox...mine is leaking at the top, so can be the valley pan ?
