Default 01 A4 tranny leak

Riding high after installing a halltech stinger over the weekend, i go out to wash and wax, and notice fluid on the garage floor. Back up on rhinos, and find my tranny leaking, from what looks like the pan. Bought the car in Feb., took it back to the dealer two weeks later, because i noticed the rear was wet, when i was painting my calipers. "We couldn't find a thing wrong, probably the tire wet the detailer used" was the hayseed's answer. looked at the undercarriage, not wet. Now they want to ding me with the deductable. After speaking to three managers, who's parents aparently married their cousins, i finally get the answer i like. no charge. You gotta love mondays.

That's some funny you know what!

Is it coming from the left side? Might be the trani seal on that side. Common problem, I have to get mine fixed.

At least they finally gave in and will fix it for nothing. Hope they do it right.
