Very common leak. No other seals to change, but check out the joint you have to remove and the selector rod for wear ( http://2009.bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/ ... ng_parts-2 Parts 11 and 14), and replace if necessary.
Remove the gearbox crossmember and let the rear of the gearbox down on to a stand to aid access, but check under the bonnet to make sure you don't damage the radiator or fan when you do.

Thanks Brian, I've have 2 of mine (1 Manual, 1 Automatic) with this issue also, Gearbox oil/ATF everywhere down the transmission tunnel, any ideas, with how to change the auto one?
