The "leak" arrow is the right transmission mount. Can't tell exactly what the source of the leak is but it could be the transmission output shaft seal, not a difficult job to replace, seal is about $7(us), mounts, $9 ea., needs two. If they've been soaked in oil for a while, the rubber will deteriorate. Ref. link below for seal & mount replacement

Hi,

I was changing the ATF on my 735, when I noticed this leak nearby. I don't have a clue as to what this thing is, or if it's a serious leakage that's hard to fix. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if there's a tranny expert around there, is it bad if I accidentally put about a little more ATF on the transmission than originally came out? The oil on the dipstick is a little bit over the max when hot. Again, TIA.

Regards,
Paul Bryde - 735i '87
