     Could you be a little more vague?  There was a
     bulletin on the tube going to the tranny leaking,
     wasn't a difficult fix.  If it's the pan gasket
     it's a pretty straightforward fix (you have to
     drop the front X pipe) and remove the shifter
     cable cover to get at the pan bolts. It's an
     interesting setup that doesn't allow you to
     overtighten them, as they have a stop and what
     actually holds the pan in place is the lip
     of the pan.  You also have to make sure and
     NEVER use any kind of sealer on the tranny
     pan gasket, according to Audi it has to
     "breath" in to keep if from leaking.
     Or, it may just be overfilled, if the car
     doesn't have a dipstick (probable), order
     one from the dealer ($14.01) and check
     the level.  If you could be a little more
     specific as to exactly where it's leaking
     might be able to help a little more.
