Default Unsure of the name for it

Sorry but I am unsure for the name of this seal.
It is where the driveshaft bolts into the gearbox with the multi-spline bolts
ATF is leaking from there, I have bought what I think is the right seal from audi to replace the leaking one.

I am just wondering how to replace the seal? As soon as I take the driveshaft out is the ATF just going to flow freely from the box?

You could try erwin, register (it's free) pay your 4 euros and input your shassis number and the whole process will be available to you.

My ELSAWin is plaing up again! Must get the latest version.

with the cv removed u should be able to remove the center bolt and pull the cup out, a bit of fluid will come out but not loads, then just prise the seal out and press the new one in, then near it there should be a 17mm internal hex fill point to top it back up at
