Hello guys!
As from the thread title I have a problem with my 2011 A3 8P7. I have a gearbox oil leak between the gearbox and the left driveshaft. I have another oil leak on the right driveshaft but it looks like coming from the engine. Anyway back to the left driveshaft, I also noticed it usually moves when I am engaging the clutch and you can as well see it in the video I have attached. Furthermore, I recently changed the left driveshaft gasket after being left with nearly no more oil in the gearbox. A good friend of mine that works as a mechanic said it is probably another kind of gaskets inside the gearbox that comes before the driveshaft gasket and it will require the gearbox to be removed in order to access those. What do you guys think? I just bought the car just over three months ago and it is not in warranty anymore.
