Oil Leak

littlejd · 06-12-2005, 11:47 PM

i just brought home a 1999 avant 2.8 and discovered an oil puddle under the center portion of the wagon. can i check auto trans fluid as the manual says nothing about tranny fluid only engine oil. it might be motor oil but it seems to be alittle further back than the engine?only has 46k on it

best bet is to get the car up on a rack and locate where the fluid is coming from

on further inspetion it apears that the oil leaking in a tranny fluid gear oil not engine at least that what it smells like. are audi's tranny auto quattro's problems and exspensive to fix??? it runs well and shifts good

i know manual tranys are expensive i replaced mine. they are not to common of a prob. have a shop take a look at it. any noise from it (grinding)? make sure there is no trany fluid on the cats. if it leaking on the cats it is a fire hazard
