I have been looking for where my tranny is leaking for a while now in my '96 S320. First thought it was the Pan but installed new gasket - was no help. Then after pressure washing it again I've found the leak. OK - its coming from around the wire harness inlets into the trans.. It runs down inside the protective wrap on the wire bundle to a small hole where it drips from. Long story short - is there a way to repair or replace the seal/O ring or whatever that must be damaged or dried up without opening the trans.? Would unscrewing, cleaning up and siliconeing at the inlet work or just make things worse. It runs perfect and has a couple shy of 200k on it.
Any thoughts or ideas for me, or experiance with this problem?
Thanks

If its a bundle of wires sounds like computer gasket is leaking They should have parts maybe thru a trans shop.

Ordered and just received the above part. Looks like another easy fix. Learn something new everyday....Thanks for the help. I'll try to report how it goes. (may be a while since it's been in the 110 temp range here for a while) No climbing under the car until it cools down lol

Well - no luck.... My transmission must be different somehow, there is no part like this where the harness goes into the trans.. Looks like I need to save up for a rebuild or live with the leaking mess. This is the first issue I haven't been able to take care of as a DIY project on this car so can't complain I guess.
