2007 SANTE 210 Oily Sheen in Bildge?

[txrn75010]

I was preplexed @ first discovery, no sign of oil leaks so thought it was maybe fuel?...that system checked out fine as well....Well today I found the source>>>>there is a small pressure brelief vale, I believe, @ the top of the PCM tranny housing (not the vdrive) close to mthe cooling hose outlet.....MY questiion is should i be worried ab this?....no loss pwr or slippage or anything noted....my quess is that it got a little too hot in the case..but why?....do i need to change the oil cooling unit im gonna change fluid and monitor

Any advice education etc is greatly appreciated

My 03 has oil a bit of oil in the bilge most of the time, I think the V-Drive leaks a tiny bit of oil from the gasket. I believe this is a well documented issue on older SAN's. I'd just check your fluid levels regularly.

There are many ways it could have gotten there. The dealer could have overfilled it? Spilled some when they did the service? I would not be too concerned with it as long as your fluid levels stays pretty constant.
