Leaking ATF from 2nd Gear Brake Band?

["Alexander van Gerbig" <Audi_80@email.msn.com>]

    My 089 AT is leaking ATF from the cover of the 2nd gear brake band.  I
always thought it was leaking from the gasket but I was wrong.  How exactly
does a brake band work and why is it leaking?  Anyone?  Could this leaking
cause a shifting problem from 2nd gear to 3rd, this being a late shift?

Thanks!
