Default Transmission fluid leak

This past weekend I saw a few oil spots under my S4. Put her on the ramps to inspect and found some clear type of oil spreading/stripping over the undercarriage cover. Took her in and the service advisor confirmed that there is a leaking from DSG transmission pan. He also mentioned he's seen some S4's around the same build cycle (mid 2011) with the same problem. Now an "updated" gasket has been ordered and it should fix the problem.
Just a heads up for mid 2011 build.

Sure hope no bad luck happen to you

Picked my car up today one day earlier than promised. Funny they seemed to read my mind 'cause i just couldn't bear the "hard-working" attitude of the 2.0t engine on the loaner car.

The service paper shows transmission pan gasket was replaced. Hope this is the end of the story.
