[s-cars] Whats leaking? Between gearbox and torsen..

[Ivan Demkovitch]

Chad,
 
I'm not even sure if it's stinky or not. I don't smell anything. And no, may be it's no a LEAK but this is only leak I'm aware of on this car. And I hate them. And I will fix it since transmission will be out anyway.
But it seem like it's coming between gearbox and torsen(?)
Did anybody have this kind of leak?
 
Is there online ETKA where I can look up part numbers?

Thanks,
Ivan

Boy those pictures bring back memories. Nice Garage! 
 
You call that a leak? ;-)  Not sure on that one. Is it trans fluid? (stinky?). 
 
That's where I took my exhaust apart. Not sure of the exact bolt size. I just bought some at the hardware store with lock washers. They had sae 1/2 inch heads on them. Stock bolts have 13mm heads if that helps any. The bad news is most of those bolts will break. The good news is they break real easy. I think on my friends S4 I did we only broke a couple and I just replaced them with spares from my car.
 
Another tip: when you take a bolt out of something. (like those exhaust hangers) put it back where it goes so you can find it easily for re-assembly.

Folks,
 
Made some pictures of under car.
 
You can see transmission leaking past driveshafts. Where it coming from?
I checked - everything dry above transmission
Also, on first picture I circled bolts on exhaust. Is that a place I have to disconnect?
Those look like M6, not M8. Correct?
