Thank you! I'll give him a call this morning. JT line is 10 miles from me. That would be ideal. Thank you, again!

Stopped in a local shop this morning. They repair foreign and domestic autos. Their signage has Mercedes, BMW, etc. They've been there a while. nd, while I haven't read stellar reviews on them, I decided to see if they might be of help.

The fellow I spoke to said they first would diagnose the "leak" by introducing a dye to the transmission... insert a camera into the tranny/bell housing (?), start the car... and identify the leak. $105 for the diagnosis.

Does that sound right?

The shop I wanted to take it to, but declined because, "... what if we pull the trans and find that it's the pump to housing o-ring and gasket or even the pump guide bushing warn out. I've been through this before. Nobody's supplying service parts for them."

Does anyone have any thoughts about the dye/camera diagnosis?

Thank you.
