Default What is wrong with this picture???

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/6944/s4_problem_002.jpg"></center><p>
I think I'm experiencing a leak. I'm guessing it is coming from the Axel. I guess the rubber boot is torn and fluid is leaking. I wonder if ECS tuning carries a part that I can buy to replace.

Any of you mechanics out there can you give me an idea on what need to be fixed.

I just did my ABS module change to get rid of the annoying ABS light and flashing brake light and noticed this.

Any advise. Thanks.

About $100 at most places; but the axle needs to come out, right?

Did that ever trigger a rough road torque signal (something like that)?

Default Nope. but I didn't VAG the car.

I was told that the only way a problem like this gets worst is when you hear a clicking sound.
