I have 2- 06 jettas w/ brm tdi engine and auto transmission.
Both have a fluid leak right by the filter and have attached photos.
Can it just be the o-ring or is there a common failure of some sort there I should look into?[P

I don’t know if the link is working bec I’m having trouble with it. But the leak is on
Top of the transmission by the filter housing, so I’m wondering if it’s the oring or is there something common that fails there?

Just another reason for not having a DSG transmission. They are a really fantastic transmissions until they decide to rape your bank account witch will happen if you drive one. My 5 speed manual at 187K miles is a joy to drive..........

Wish I was more help. If you have a mis behaving DSG, may I suggest throwing it in the dumpster?

Have you done a DSG service recently? Did you replace the o-ring on the filter housing? That would seem the first place to start. You can change the filter (and the filter housing o-ring) without draining the fluid, and if your leak goes away, then problem solved. Any chance the o-ring was left off the last time it was serviced?
