Transmission banjo fitting leaking
I just thought I would share this as something to check on at your next service
I was doing a oil change yesterday at my dealership and I had the car lifted up with the splash pans removed. I found on the front of my trans near the lower bell housing area there was a trans line banjo fitting leaking. When I first saw the leak I thought it was going to be the front pump seal or the plug/connector seals but on closer inspection I found it was simply coming out of the trans cooler line fitting. I turned it with a 19mm socket and it wasn't even finger tight. Fortunately, the leak was so minor it had not yet collected on the splash pan.
