Re: 323 leaking fluid while backing up problem

The only "Normal" leakage, is not really a leakage. It's after you've
used the airconditioner on cold for a long time, and water drips down
off of the cold A/C pipes on which it condensed. And even then, this is
plain water.
You can check the levels on brake fluid, on power steering fluid, but
not easly on transmission fluid.
I totally agree this is not "NORMAL", and you can't wait too long
without finding out.
Good luck

My wifes car leaks fluid which seems to be brake fluid or trans fluid or
power steering fluid or ??? ( an oil product and not water based), when
she leaves for work in the morning. Her car is parked about 6 feet
below the road so she has to back up hill and when she gets to the
street and slows she leaves a trail for about 6 feet of this fluid
before she gets out of reverse and goes forward. I've had the car to the
local BMW dealer and he said that this is normal anyway he could not
find a problem. I do not think this could be normal but I can't find
any fluid levels that are low. The amount that is lost is maybe a couple
of tablespoons each time and it does not happen everytime. Anyone else
had this happen???? Thanks in advance..
