[Vwdiesel] What transmission fluid?

[Shawn Wright]

Ouch, that isn't good... any signs of leaks around the axle flanges? Often 
the seal on the axle flange gives way causing trans fluid to leak into the 
CV, destroying CV if not noticed soon enough. I can't imagine all your fluid 
leaking out without making a big mess somewhere.
