Tranny Service by MB...3 weeks later -->

I return home from a 2 week trip and there is fluid on my garage floor. I am assuming tranny fluid. Calling MB tomorrow too. Any ideas?

How much on the floor? If it is just a couple of drips, it may be residual fluid slopped around during the service that was just done and then dripped on the floor over the last couple of weeks.

3 foot long by 1 foot wide? Is that too much residual?

Hmmm, yes that may be a bit too much. You might call the dealer and ask them if you should drive it back or put it on a roll back. My guess is that is less than a quart but I would hate to see it mess the tranny up driving it back to the dealer.

I wouldn't drive it to the dealer, have them send a flatbed. It's not worth screwing your car up, trying to get to the dealer. Then to only find out, that the damage from not having enough tranny fluid isn't covered under warranty, or by the dealer. Even thought they might have said to drive it in. Better safe then sorry, I always say.
