[QUOTE="jarance, post: 442984, member: 21"] bro, the aux pump is a known problem with the E46/325i. I have the same problem about 1 year back. It happen while I was overtaking some cars. White smoke seen at the rear when it happen. (ATF on hot exhaust cause the white smoke). Manage to limp about 60 KM back to workshop. Jack up car and found ATF fluid at the GB. Drain the sump and luckily found no metal filing in the remaining oil. Cause of leak was due to the brass bushing failing at the hydraulic aux pump. change the aux pump for RM1500 (new). Total cost about RM2000 for ATF and labour. Did not do overhaul the GB as the shop confirm that the GB is OK after inspection. Paid some extra for the GB mounting when it was found damaged. I believed that the cause of the bushing of the Aux Pump wearing off prematurely was due to the failure of the GB mounting. [/QUOTE]
