Its a real common problem. My SL55 did the exact same thing about a year ago. Its the Tranny Sensor that has a leak in its housing.

If under warranty no worries. If not have them do a Tranny Service on your 5 speed. It will include a flush and the part for about $ 300.00.

Other wise the part and labor alone are about $ 200.00

And if your really good they will pick it up. I tried but its not a full recall.
There are 2 different color sensors. Cant remember which is good and bad.

The problem is when its a small leak and the fluid gets to the harness and really causes serious damage. Consider yourself lucky if its just the sensor.
