I have been reading some threads, they say the overflow for a 190E is on the passenger's side.
Well I wouldn't be too quick to argue with that. It could be good information but it more than likely depends on the transmission. I've got a 722.303 in my garage that has the same position for the vent as the one in your picture



But that doesn't necessarily mean that all transmissions are the same. The "ears" at the front of these transmissions for the starter are sometimes on different sides. I've even seen a picture of a 722.3?? transmission with two starter "ears"...

...and to top it off it could be information about a manual gear box...

It will be best to crawl underneath and check.

It would be even better to drain the oil and replace with the correct amount if it does indeed turn out to be leaking from the vent. These transmissions are not "fill to spill".
