Default Can power gains by GIAC chip blow tiptronic trans seals?

OK on my 03 A4 Avant 1.8TQ - I am getting a silver dollar sized puddle on the ground after I shut the car off, anyone know how $cared I should be?

I have a GIAC chip to 210 hp I think, is this the reason I have a leak by chance. Researching here the trans is good to 245 hp?

Thanks in advance!

Default I have APR with around same power figures. Trans oil pan seal might be worn. Big deal

Change the filter while you're at it.

Default FYI, some B5 S4 guys have found their "level10" upgrade to be nothing but a sham...

or rather a couple of washers.

just a FYI

Default IMO, all Audi-automatic slush-box's are a sham on performance! ;o)

Havent seen one yet, "survive" with longevity after mods.

For as long as I'm physically able, I will not buy an Audi automatic type of gearbox...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/9080/msgs/8154.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/9080/msgs/8154.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Thanks guys

Wife can't drive stick, and its a DD, and even if this chip is too much for it for troublefree driving, level10 is not for me. Yes I know should buy a honda then.
