02 Turbo Tip leak, possible trans or other
FIXED: ATF Cooler: $1295 out the door. $717 For the part. 2 quarts of fluid replaced. Part number: 7222700495
Hey gang, just thought i would throw this out there. I will ultimately be getting a full diagnosis, but thought I would ask for a little insight from the forum members!
I have a leak on my 02 turbo tiptronic. Just wondering what you guys can make of it with the pictures I have provided.
The puddle is after approximately 18 hours. and is under 12 inches wide.
Thank you!

I do not think that is transmision fluid. Could you collect some on a white paper towel so we can see the color more clearly?

First thing is you need to get under there and clean the build up. That’s a lot of buildup and a lot of fluid loss. Once it’s clean lay some white paper underneath and see what color is. My WAG is trans is leaking and new gaskets.

Isn't it the tiptronic oil cooler at the end of those two hoses? Can it be busted? A good clean up of this area and the car on a lift while somebody start it and select gear is a must to pin point the leak.....

I did a search on Ebay part#7222700495 and there are many for sale for around $112.00!!! Not bad at all! Good luck!

wow, didnt realize the leak was that much when I saw it on the lift.. it was hard to tell what was what because it had years of ick built up over everything... hope it is something simple..

as pointed out it could be the power steering fluid. the engine is actually super clean and just purrs really nice.
