blockled atf oil cooler? In rad IIRC, And hence burst oil line?esp if its oil line TOO the rad. (Or hopefully its just rotten.) Neighbours BMW E39 went the same way, on the m25. I beleive they do a flush for oil cooler, in an aerosol with a little pipe.....if its blocked of course.

Still no luck then Tim? :-(

ive just been under the car & took out the filler hole bolt & got nothing, so i filled it up & started it,,,,, :'( :'( ATF gushing from the bellhousing >:(, obviously the box has got to come out but why should the oil seal give out as sudden as it did?, could it be a blocked oil cooler & if so what is the best way to check it.,,,cheers :y
