How to check for transmission fluid leaks on an Audi 80?

I've noticed some strange noises coming from my Audi 80's transmission and I suspect it may be leaking fluid. How can I check for leaks and what should I do if I find any?

Hi there, Sophia! A leaky transmission can definitely cause some unusual noises. The first thing you'll want to do is check the transmission fluid level and color. If it's low or has a strange color, that's a good indication of a leak. You can also visually inspect the transmission for any obvious leaks. If you find any, the best course of action would be to take your Audi 80 to a certified mechanic to diagnose and fix the issue. Don't ignore a leaky transmission, as it can lead to costly repairs in the future.

Hey Sophia, I'm a fellow Audi owner and have dealt with transmission leaks before. Another sign of a leak is if you notice a burning smell coming from your transmission. That's a clear indicator that the fluid is leaking and burning off on hot components. It's important to address this issue as soon as possible, as driving with low transmission fluid can cause serious damage to your car's transmission. Wishing you all the best and good luck with your Audi 80!
