AOD leaking from the rear tail shaft!
Short trips are not to bad, but if you get
out on the interstate, it will really leak.
Do they have a rear seal that can go bad?

I'm guessing it has a rear seal. I had the same problem on my T5 so I changed the seal and it was as good as new.

Yeah there's a rubber seal in the tailshaft. Normally they tear if you accidently nick them while removing/installing the driveshaft. But I guess one could also get hard from old age and leak. Either way it should just require you to pull the driveshaft to change it.
