DCT Oil Thermostat Lines to DCT

[spammysammich]

amrazM Have you seen any pressure filter cap leaks before? After I checked all the pan and side pan fasteners, I still noticed a little weeping at the pressure filter cap. Snap ring is properly in place but i pushed on one of the ribs of the cap to see if it was seated all the way and it spun about a 1/16th of a turn!!! Every time the pressure side flows when I start up it drops about 3 tablespoons of pentosin. I'm gearing up to do a full service on the DCT at this point but wanted some more perspective.

My turn...again. First gear box was leaking good after 20k miles. 2nd box (new one due to dealer filled with MT fluid) got new sump/gaskets/filter/Tstat after 30k miles useage. After another 10k miles leaking again...phew.

This time it seems to coming from above i.e. the hoses from the heat exchanger on the top. Did you ever manage to replace these according to Lienrocs input?
Car is at the dealer so not planning to do it myself but interested to understand about mentioned special tools to avoid dropping the box (dealer should know but you never know...wil chat with the tech tomorrow).

Thanks!

No, my lines weren't my problem. And the #11 o-ring i replaced didn't fully cure my slow seepage from that spot.

Thanks mate, got it. These fukkers never seem to stop leaking...fortunately there is plenty fluid to leak from!
