Fluid leak and oil change. The dealership said it's a transmission leak, but they couldn't determine where it was leaking due to gunk that had built up. They are going to keep it a couple of days to fix the problem. Need to take it back. Transmission fluid leak. Dealer was able to identify that the transmission pan was leaking. Didn't require replacing the pan, just gasket. That saved me ~$500.
