Fixing my Audi R8's Rear Engine Oil Leak - Part 1

With a 14-year old car, expect things to start breaking, such as the rear main seal on my car, spilling oil everywhere in the bell housing.
I show you how to remove the Audi R8/Lamborghini Gallardo transmission (Graziano L140) to investigate the oil leak coming out of the transmission bell housing.
I also show you how I inspect the Audi R8's clutch to determine whether the clutch needs to be replaced.
FYI: The thickness of a new single clutch plate is about 7.5 mm

Remarkable that you are self taught. As I have an oil leak on mine and need to get it down to a shop.
