You paying by the hour? They are are slow? Taking 1 part a day off?
Main Seal is not leaking but the flange around it is the source.
Yes, by the hour..going to cost $500,000 to fix the dam thing. LOL.....

Gasket around the flange should never leak unless the bolts come loose? They don't have too much Torque on them. Makes me wonder if I should put a dab of Blue Locktite on mine since I just put a preventative new rear main seal on it before I bolt the flywheel on this weekend.

What, the new RS7 is only $120,000 or so, far less than $500,000.
LOL
Just ordered the next parts list, a more modest $397.

That was almost my estimate too....You'll have to hand that car down 3 generations to make it worth it...Yes, by the hour..going to cost $500,000 to fix the dam thing. LOL.....

The transmission does not appear to be leaking at all. We are changing the front and rear seals on that too.

That's not a nice name for your mechanic...sounds like it's moving along well at least! Better to have the job done right and take some time.

I think the last few things will be the seals for the front and rear of the transmission.
I am on the fence about having all four drive axels changed, be another millions dollars but I'll be rid of the chatter on hard acceloration.
I had purchased all new flex brake lines from ECS about 6 months ago so I am going to have he swap those too.

The leak is coming from the corner of the flange gasket where the gasket ends and the upper half of the oil pain meets with the engine block.
I assume there is another gasket that will be needed but my mechanic did not mention ordering one yet. We forgot to order the flange gasket, not sure why id was not packaged with the flange and seal. Doo'h.

Passenger side (next to cut out for starter)
Driver's side is leaking more I think
The flange gasket, U shaped
Timing is dead on, checked that since it's apart
Jet Sump will be swapped since it's a Pain in the ass to get to and I guess these can get fouled up with time.

The upper oil pain assembly uses a tube of sealant and not a gasket.....

Turbos look good, just waiting on rebuild kit.

I spoke (typed) too soon as both turbines are trash. Part of the housing is cracked.
I ordered two new CHRA (Central Housing Rotating Assemblies).
So I'll end up with new turbos too. Mine were fairly degraded so there may actually be some more punch in the car once is all back together.
See crack here.
Deformed blades.

Would you be interested in parting with the beat CHRA's? I don't want to pay much, but I like spare parts, and my buddy does great work building these things.
