Where does it look like it is leaking from?
Take it to Economy Transmission on 17th and 58th SE and they will be able to do up a quote for you and fix it.

I dont think so. Well at least on my BMW there is no Tranny Fluid sensor, so if I dont have any fluid in there, I wont know until the car stops shifting LOL. Just take it in, there might just be a little crack in the tranny fluid collector, and then its easy to replace that.

Which year and model of BMW? It could be something simple like the shifter or output seal.

I agree.
My shifter seal was worn out and I noticed some tranny fluid on the ground.

Tunerworks can get you the parts needed. :thumbsup:
