Help with leak from transmission area

[boostedX5SAV]

I have a 2012 X5 35i. I noticed this past weekend that I have something leaking from the transmission area. It is clear liquid and feels like water, no smell to it. When car it running, it looks like it runs a lot more than a few drops but when car is off, it is dripping a bit. Can anyone tell me what is causing this is leaking and how do I fix this?

Where the arrow is pointing to looks like the source of the leak. I'm not sure what tube that is. If anyone knows, please tell me.


It drips down to this wire loom


And then eventually down to these screws


Here's a video of the leak with the car off

Thanks for looking and your help!

It's water from the ac drain which is around the trans. Dumb design, I know!

Thanks. Dumb indeed. I will try driving without the AC this weekend to see if it solves the leakage.

It will solve the "leakage".
On my 2001 X5 4.4i is "leaking" from the same spot.
The AC drain tube ends further up,attached to the chassis.
All that water will pour down looking like a leak.

I drove a few times today without the AC and no leaks. I don't know why I never noticed the leaks before as I always have the AC on all year.
