Oil changed, no gears??

There isn't to much I haven't done to fix any of my bimmers. But I'm scratching my head on this one....

Had a shop change the oil (first time ever, didn't have time). Used 0-40 Mobil 1 for the first time instead of 5-30 Mobil 1. Put maybe 40 miles on it after the oil change. Had a few start and stop power cycles.

Also filled up the tank with premium and a bottle of HEAT (just want to cover the details).

16 miles after the fill about 40 miles after the oil change I came to a stop at a red light. Light turned green and I had no acceleration. everything sounded normal, revs were there. No warning lights were on. Looked underneath and oil was POURING out from under the canister.

Now the tricky part, the dip stick showed plenty of oil and you could see oil under the fill cap. Checked the canister and it also had oil in it. With the filter and proper o-ring in place.

WHERE DID THE OIL COME FROM AND WHY THE HELL IS THE TRANS NOT GRABBING ANY GEARS???

No it's not ATF that leaked.... HELP??
