Default Transmission Leak Tiptronic

OK so I posted here about a week ago and got some really good leads on my transmission fluid problem, so I did a filter/fluid change and it shifts perfect now.I have a 1998 Audi a4 1.8T Q Tip.While I was doing the change I found the culprit, I'm leaking. I was wondering if anyone had any info on where the transmission fluid would commonly leak? From what I saw it seems to leak from the seal going into the axle or half-shaft? I don't exactly know how to word it but it looks like the seal that the axle is on that connects to the transmission? Its in between my oil and transmission pan. Going to take it to a mechanic on my day off but would like to go in there with some knowledge and a good price range for the repair.

Thanks

Check the lines that run to the radiator to cool the trans fluid

Now it is my turn, I thought I had an engine leak but the leak is from the tipronic... did you get this squared out? What was it and how much?
