Default Oil Leak Between engine & gearbox

Hello All,
Please can you help me?
I've got a 2011 Audi A7 3.0tdi Quattro and my mechanic has told me there's an oil leak between the engine & gearbox.
I've had the mechantronic unit repaired around 1 year ago and since then very 3-4 months I've had to get the gearbox oil topped up, because it feels like it's still trying to pull while sitting at traffic lights.
Has anyone else had similar issues?
Any help advice would be much appreciated.

Just curious. How many miles on your car now and when the problems started?

The mechatronic unit went at 65000 miles in March ‘18 and now the car has got 83000 miles in the clock.
I went to the mechanic last night and the oil is leaking between the mechatronic and gears area.
It’s leaking from the left hand side looking from underneath.
