Bad day for the S4

Bad day for the S4
Ok, so it started off with finding out my right front tire was flat (no big deal, get it patched). So I was on my way to the shop and sure enough I am hearing blow off valve sounds - so I am assuming the bypass valves are broken. Not a big deal, get them replaced, well on the way to the shop after I filled the tire up with air, it lost an immense amount (it was only losign about 5-6lbs/day) and it wore the sidewall out and melted it, so it was totally flat - due to this, I bent the rim severly After that, we got my car up on the lift to take the wheels off - so I looked under my car to check out the undercarriage, and I notice a lot of oil... whats this coming from? The transmission bellhouse(I think thats what its called), where the tranny connects to the engine. Great I thought, so as I am looking around, the CV joint is leaking grease all over too! So we put on my spare onto my front, and I'm off on my way, as I am driving - I get the wonderful washerfluid low warning - so I go to fill it up, and a few moments later (as I am filling it up) my foot starts to get wet,LOVELY, the washerfluid container broke open too! This is a baaaaaaaaad day for the Audi So I ask myself, what could cause the tranny to be leaking oil? Just a bad seal? I know this is covered under warranty, but what will cause this to happen?
