<x-charset windows-1255>Interesting. It's certainly not a big leak. I have placed a pan underneath and will leave it for a few days to see whether it catches anything. I attempted to check the level under the right conditions. I don't think I overfilled it. Someone else, who knows what he's talking about (I hope), checked it and said it's not overfilled. However, if I did overfill it, would it be likely just to leak a little bit and then stop, or would it burst a gasket and then need fixing? I'll see if I can isolate more exactly where the leak is coming from. I understand from your message that leaks are not exactly unusual on the automatics.
