Default Similar case for mine a while back Should come in under $100

Mine was covered under warranty. The oil is Audi gear oil, I don't recall the number. In my case, it was a simple change of the seal and refill.

Default I have one also..

it was spotted at the last service and will be repaired under warrany this summer when I take it in for service.

Might be a problem with the A6 as this should not be leaking at this early in the car's life?
