GTS 2016 Oil leak with no symptoms
My gts started leaking transmission oil (a lot) with no symptoms (no smell, all gears shifting fine, no noises)
I read that a lot of people have issues with this gearbox, but almost nothing for an issue like mine. It’s going to the dealer tomorrow and im curious if someone had an experience with such leaks?

Mine gave no warning whatsoever. I pulled out of the driveway, realized forgotten something inside, and thankfully saw the puddle while on my way back into the house. Had I not had to run back inside (almost never do that) I would have been off on an hour+ drive, without transmission fluid.... Could have been catastrophic.
The MB work order was for around $18k for transmission replacement.

Yup, lots of folks have the same issue, some folks have had it happen a few times now. It's thankfully still covered under the transmission warranty extension.

It’s whatever but its mind blowing that a car on 20k miles would need a transmission replacement🤦🏼♂️
I’ll update the thread about the dealer’s decision.

But I agree, it should absolutely not be having transmission replacement issues like this.
