leaking fluid..
 

car going in saturday to get looked at, but curious about feedback. leaks on incline when parked for a day or two. looks like new oil, but dont think it is oil. leaking from front of car. curious if this could be the xdrive or what. 68k miles, 4.8. :dunno: thoughts?

did you find the leak on trans bell housing? sounds like valley pan gasket to me since you mention it leaks when parked incline. put a white paper where it leaks and see if the color is clear mixed with greenish/bluish color.

it sound like a mechatronic seal, transmission leak (trans pan gasket), i just had mine replaced on my 05 4.8is last week, slight leak in the driveway. all gone now.

exactly what it was.

take the front plastic under tray cover off and take a look at the lower hoses as well as the water pump.

from you pics, its hard to tell where the leak is coming from since the under tray is there catching the fluid and funelling it down to the hole where it finally drops out.

i had a similar puddle under my car and it turned out to be my water pump itself that was leaking so i just replaced it.

Thanks for your reply, I'll pop off the cover tonight.

Is it easy to see the pipes and pump or will I be searching for a needle in a haystack?

I have TIS so I'm searching for an picture.

Would a faulty pump and/or pipes lead to the pressure build up/burping Im getting?

Many Thanks
