[V8] re v8 problems

I was coming home from fresno yesterday and just at teh top of the grapevine 
white smokes starts pouring out the back. Once on the side of the road I 
lifted the hood to reveal a fire under the engine two bottles of water later it was 
doused. I checked the trans fulid and oil both were full or at least within 
reason. Restarted the car checked trans again and looked for oil but none was 
forth coming. Today I cleaned the bottom of the engine and trans to start 
looking for the leak two test dives later it seems to be coming from either the 
selector switch or the pan . Does anyone have this or a similar experience? The 
pan looks like a right bitch to get out any pointers? Is it poosible for fulid 
to come from the selector switch? The car runs great ,pulls hard etc... While 
underneath the audi also noticed that the right front outside cv boot needs 
replacment , the car gods have never blessed me with this job so advice would be 
appreciated on this job as well. Last but not least I would really like to 
get the bently manual which is often referenced but I have been unable to locate 
one anywhere, if there is a place please let me know. any info can be sent to 
verbryckjack at aol com or to the list . Thanks George
