    Cost of replacing output shaft seal on driveline to rear wheels --Avant?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    It looks like I am leaking just a bit of auto-trans fluid from the bottom of the car- Our mechanic says it needs a seal replaced. He claims it is the seal where the driveline heads back from the trans to the rear wheels on the Avant.

    Anyone ever seen this? How much for seal and approx repair time for labor?

    Is this what I need? Your referenced thread talks about gear oil, the seal I am showing here talks about automatic transmission fluid. Where's the disconnect here?
    The leak is in the middle area of the car for what its worth?

    Is there a different seal I need to be looking for?

    The ECS description is slightly misleading. It is absolutely gear oil (not ATF) that would be leaking from the rear output shaft seal that you linked. That is the correct seal for an A4 quattro automatic. Very common failure.
