#1 Oil leak automatic gearbox

Post by Djerome60 » Tue May 01, 2018 8:01 am

Hi everyone,

after the first 100 miles with my newly restored serie 3 2+2 the little leak i had on my BW 12 is getting bigger. I initially thought it was coming from the oil sump and it's why i have ordered the aluminium conversion kit but i have just found out that the leak is coming from the kickdown solenoid connector.
My question is therefore : can i change the seal of the connector without getting the GB out? I believe that i can get access from the bottom if i remove the valve block? (can i remove the valve block without any specific tools)

Many thanks in advance
Regards
Jérôme

Many thanks.
I have actually an hard version of this manual but in this case it does not really help.
Nevertheless i found out that the connector mentionned can be accessed from the bottom by removing the oil sump.
I'll do the operation once i would have received the new oil sump and connector seal and i'll post some picture if it can benefit someone else.

Hi everyone,

i found the leak it was indeed coming from the connector but it was not the O ring but the connector itself which was broken.
I fix it with a speacial Loctite sealant as interim solution and works fine.
No more leak.
