The nearside driveshaft goes through the gearbox casing, so thats where the oil came from.
The filler/level plug is just to the right of where the driveshaft goes through.
Yep, it does.hope it doesn't
Its still gear box oil you've lost, but topping up an auto as opposed to changing a known amount, dunno??? sorryi have looked in haynes 97-02 and its not the same as mine(auto bmw lump)
i think its different?
