Quick Fix: Transmission Gasket Leaking...
Its not leaking much but i do notice a drop or two every week so i was thinking to patch it up by throwing in one of those stop-leak bottles...my question is what brand should i use and where is the transmission fluid reservoir so i can dump one in? THX

I wouldn't worry about it.
Don't pour some crap in your tranny.
You will live to regret it .

I read his post and literally gasped! DON'T PUT CRAP IN YOUR TRANNY!!!
Get under the car, take off the pans, and tighten the torx screws a bit.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to drop the pan, pull the fluid, and replace the gasket. While you are down there, change the tranny filter and fluid too.
Easy job.

You should check to make sure it's not leaking through the point where any wiring harnesses connect.
If you do the filter and gasket you'll need some MB tranny fluid.
Please do a search, lots of posts on that.
