Big white smoke?

[ianrandom]

Bet the trans was over filled. Happened to me on my w126. Loads of smoke!

I will get that sorted tomorrow and I will keep you guys updated.

Actually, does the excess transmission oil get out of the breather and levels properly afterwards?

I know it might be an odd question but is new transmission oil always red?

Thanks

Just leave it and use the smoke to keep tailgaters off your @rse

Had the problem solved.

The mechanic checked the transmission oil level and there was too much!

The reason behind this is that he failed to let the transmission cool down completely before putting the new oil...
