Checking around, it seemed that the area around the transmission oil pan is a bit grimy, like being caused by slowly escaping oil.

Doing my usual Saturday morning check-under-the-car routine, and noticed that something might have been seeping/leaking very slowly.

Suggestion · Original poster
Definitely not engine oil, so would it be that the pan's gasket is leaking, or the pan hasn't been tightened correctly causing it to seep oil?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

Doing my usual Saturday morning check-under-the-car routine, and noticed that something might have been seeping/leaking very slowly. Nothing on the ground. Did the most sensible thing, and pulled the cover off, and cleaned it up (pic below) rp1eAhP.jpg Checking around, it seemed that the area around the transmission oil pan is a bit grimy, like being caused by slowly escaping oil. krscTpA.jpg Interestingly, one of the bolt's head was filled with oil. uFlBv1E.jpg Definitely not engine oil, so would it be that the pan's gasket is leaking, or the pan hasn't been tightened correctly causing it to seep oil? Or is it something else? Car is 2003 C4 Cabriolet Tip
