Oil leak on driveway

2003 S600

if its not one thing......

Anyway, got the transmission oils done a week or two ago, new filter, gasket etc, just because I didn't know what it was last or ever done.

anyway I drive the car on the weekends mainly so she sits parked M-Fri, small amount of green oil on the drive now, grrr.

Is that gear oil green?

I hope it's not the ABC fluid.

Thanks lads.

Sorry, No. New trany fluid is red, A 001 989 68 03 13.
Yes. Pentosin for ABC/Steering is green.

Check both reservoirs for ABC and Steering make sure not low. Have it fix asap.
Ref this procedure in case you get ABC msg:

My pleasure. Have it checked and prove where the leak come from.

Be happy as you caught it earlier and it can be fixed cheaper.
It could be more trouble and expesive if the leak is ignored.
