Oil on garage floor!!!!

[Z4oldie]

I managed to get the car to a tyre fitting company as they were willing to get the car up in the air to take a look for me at NIL cost.
He asked if i had any fluid replacements recently - i said yes the manual trans oil - he said that is where it seems to be leaking from, around transmission screw plug - he allowed me to take a look as well - without removing any of the shields - Advised to take back and make sure they top it back up

When I talked to the Indy who carried out the work - he didn't want to believe the word of another garage.

Due to take it back Monday 19th - will also be taking the invoice covering the "work" they carried out as my proof.

Will post result afterwards

Hi everyone, good news.

After the garage removed the shield and got under the engine it was found that the gearbox transmission fluid top up plug was where the leak was coming from. (5* to National Tyres for correctly identifying )

PTFE applied to the plug - the level of oil in the gearbox was ok.

Refitted and now monitoring again.

Now all I need to do is figure out what 18" tyres to put on as this is where i had my monies earmarked for
