Hi all,
My S1 has a a very small amount of oil collecting under the front transfer case but the transfer case itself doesn't seem to have lost any oil at all and it's way too clean to be engine oil. My local Audi dealership advised it could be from the front diff which also has it's own oil and is the same type as the transfer case but from what I can see the diff is in the gearbox cavity so would just share the transmission oil. Can anyone confirm this for sure please so I know whether to get transmission oil to try topping up the gearbox?
There's info on other forums about topping up the front diff oil for Golf R's & S3's etc but I think they've got confused because all their pics are showing only the front transfer case fill/drain ports.
