Oil Leakage

Hi,

During a recent trip in Germany I had a chance to let the 600 stretch her legs on an autobahn. After around 5 minutes of high speed cruising I noticed smoke billowing from the rear so pulled over to investigate - expecting the worst.

It seemed there was a fine mist of oil all over the underside of the car from the tranny back to the rear bumper.

I am just wondering if I may have slightly overfilled the tranny (722.3) at the last service and the sustained high speed has forced some fluid from a breather or somewhere?

Now the underside is completely dry and there are no signs of any leaks

Thanks
