Picked up our new zinnoberrot 325i today, and the owner was telling me it has a drip leak coming from the transmission. He said it's a small seal that's no more than about $10 to replace, and I haven't had a chance to get up under the car. What seals, on the outside of the transmission, would cause this?

Get jackstands or put the car on a lift, inspect area, cuss out and get prepared to drop tranny to replace main seal...
Ha ha, j/k it could be the tranny fluid drain bolt or seal hopefully :?
Good luck...

Thanks Jordan. Do you have a part number for the filter?
I assume the main oil pan gasket is 24 11 1 217 082.
