Default new s4 owner and let the repairs begin

so this is my first post because i am a new first time owner of a 2000 s4 auto with 117k miles

ive owned the car for 3 days and i have already run into issues

the first day the CEL light came on because of a the secondary air pump. from my understanding is that this piece is unnecessary emissions crap and that it can be by passed with a chip.

***my question is the guy i got it from said that i could have him reflash the ECU and get a little more power out of the motor and by pass the Secondary air pump at the same time is this possible

also i have a tailshaft (aka output) flange seal leak which has been leaving a spot in my drive way and every where i stop i know i need to adress this seal soon with in the next 7 days

**is it safe to drive it while its leaking or am i going to run my tranny and diff dry

thanks for my nub questions

I suggest you contact CPT (Chicago Performance and Tuning) in Melrose IL. They've been involved with the B5 S4 for quite a while and could hook you up with whatever you want to do.
