Ordinarily mild ATF leaks don't concern me. But with this sealed for life crap, I guess I now have to buy the measuring stick and breakable tabs for the cap. Oh well.

Other than the tabs and the measuring stick, is changing the fluid and filter and different than on the 722.4?
Would you mind taking several pictures for me to see where the leaking is? Please remove the main belly pan for the pictures. The main pan is held in place with (4) screws, easily removed.

I have never had a transmission leak in any of the AT diesel MBs I, or my family has owned up to 400K miles and 20+ years old.
