On the passanger side of the vechicle I have some dripping coming from the tranny onto the exhaust pipe that runs from the manifold to the cat. I noticed a seem recently but haven't had a chance to look but tonight the smell is quite strong. It looks as if the leak is on the part right where the inner CV joing connects to. Is there seals or what am I in for?

Please help.

Forgot to add.....FWD only automatic trans.

there is a problem with the quattros leaking from the rear tranny seal, I also see it called the prop seal or quattro seal. There is a procedure I found in the V8 forum some time ago. Usually it just drips a small amount on the R cat and does not drip on the ground. It can be serious and needs attention. I had mine done, cost $200ish, but the part is about $18. Check and follow the links below.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6100/msgs/9254.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a6100/msgs/9254.phtml</a</li></ul>

Thanks for the information. Changed the seal last evening and looks promising.
