Potential DCT Leak

What are peoples thoughts on this? Been noticing a slow drip over the past few days... look under the car, and see this:








Anybody have anything similar before? I have warranty til July so I'm swinging by first thing to the dealer to get this checked out.

that is a severe DCT leak. i'd have them send a tow truck depending on how far your dealer is. they'll likely replace your upper and lower seals.

That's not a slow drip that's a massive leak you got there. Warranty it up!

Just got the car back -- Transmission oil pan was replaced, as well as the thermostat housing. Somehow everything managed to go wrong at once!

Net cost to me... $0.00. Can't complain!

keep an eye on it, especially when you're getting close to being out of warranty. i've had this happen to me twice. no issues since.
