AW71 ATF leak 700 1989

Hi,

I have a 1989 760GLE (B280F). Last night I noticed ATF had spilled over the transmission (AW71) and there were a few drips on the base of the pan. It appears to be coming from a small plastic fitting at the top centre just aft the bellhousing and from the rear of the pan gasket. Tailshaft seal is bone-dry.
I have recently had the car serviced, including an ATF change at the dealer. About two weeks ago I replaced the centre support and u-joints, trans. was completely dry then with no sign of any leaks. Car has done 240k Km.

Thanks,

Tim, Australia.

Coming from near the small plastic grill on the top? I believe there is a vent under the grill that ATF will escape from if overfilled.
