Hi.
Last November I spotted this area is sometimes a bit damp with what I believe is ATF... The area is between the engine and the transmission sump
I took the tray off yesterday to do an ATF change, the trays are completely dry. The ATF change went well, and thankfully now the gasket is not leaking at all.

I have seen a few videos on YouTube of other W203/722.6 owners who have what appears to be the same seepage, except mine is not as severe... maybe it is a common thing ?
Here are screenshots of what I mean off YouTube



The pilot bush is dry, and has been replaced not long ago.
Any idea as to what causes this ? Possibly the front seal on the transmission ?
