DSG transmission fluid pooling on top of case

Hi all,

Wanted to see if anyone has run into this before. I'm getting a few tbsp of transmission fluid pooling on top of the DSG transmission.

Here's what I've done so far:
1. replaced the o-ring on the DSG filter housing
2. replaced the o-rings and bolts on the trans oil cooler

I'm kind of at a loss as to where else it could be leaking. Any ideas? It definitely looks like DSG fluid, so I don't think it's regular engine oil that's leaking.

I figured the filter housing would be common. Would the trans housing leak from where it separates in half? Or where mechatronic unit bolts up?

Only thingsI can think of that would leak there are those O-rings you've already replaced. The seal on the trans cooler seems to rely on the flat bottom being pressed onto the 2 O-rings. Did you notice any gouges or anything on the bottom of it? Or maybe its warped? I wonder if the dsg filter housing could be slightly warped too allowing oil to get by?

Are you sure its transmission fluid?

I had the same oil there from the timing chain cover and vacuum pump leaking.
