New pool of oil in garage

So the 600 has been sitting for about three days. Pulled out of the garage this morning and realized I forgot some paperwork. Put it in park and walked back into the garage and discovered a sizable pool of liquid. Put my finger in to check what the mystery fluid was and sure enough quite a bit of oil. Not just a couple drops but a pool of oil about the size of my hand. Ironically the B service indicator just ran out of days and is currently due. I wont have time to take in until after the holidays and will post what the problem/fix is later next week.

Sorry to hear that. Looks like a bad day for S600s.

Guess it wasn't oil but trans fluid.

"found trans electrical plug connector leaking trans fluid; replaced trans electrical plug connector"

they also informed me my front pads were at 10% rear at 20%. replaced all 4 pads. Rotors OK. Car has 25,700 miles. I guess thats normal wear. Anybody have better or worse pad longevity?
