Here is the leak under my car:
I plan on topping off the DCT fluid this weekend. I'm going to avoid driving the car until I do so. Hopefully I caught the issue early enough.
Or you could buy a SSP trans pan and never worry about it leaking again
I won't fight over which one is better, my e46 M3 is 6MT so I have the best of both worlds. I just want my DCT issue fixed  |
Make sure not to strip the bolt holes in the trans when replacing the pan and gasket. I have seen this many times as well. The gasket has aluminum spacers in it so that it cant be squished when tightening. I usually apply blue loc-tite to each bolt and just snug them up enough to make sure they are, and stay, tight.
