812 leaking fluid

Do you know it is leaking from the rear or the front of the car ? that might point you in the right direction.

Maybe have a look underneath to see if you can see where it drips from.

My car was leaking from the gearbox in stationary mode only, causing small yellowish puddles.

Jaap, your 812 was leaking? You have it repaired? What was the exact problem?

 

It 's basic car knowledge to know how to identify a car's liquids. If it 's yellow-black and oily, well it's oil of some sort (engine, transmission, differential). If it 's red/blue/green and evaporates, it 's coolant. If it smells like petrol/diesel, and evaporates even quicker, it 's fuel.

 

To my eye that certainly looks like oil. It would be goodness to get the car up on a rack and have a visual inspection completed. By doing this the source of the leak should be easily identified. In advance of an inspection and with the car parked it would be helpful to note the approximate location of the drippings. Is it at the very front of the car or under the engine or under the center or center rear or on one side of the rear. Noting the location of the dripping relative to the car will assist in the visual inspection. If the 812 is new then this will be addressed under warranty.

 

No this was an F12, so the layout of the drivertrain and therefore fluid are roughly the same,

The leak was coming from the back of the gearbox, it was coming from the black plug at the rear (price EUR 28 ).
