I know it isn't nice to say, but at least someone else is having this problem.
A guy I know with a Soarer with R154 is having the same issues. Fluid leaking out the back of the box near where the tailshaft is connected.
Let me know if you find anything out.

I love it when gearbox end seals decide to crap out for no particular reason while you're 400km from home and dump ALL of the gearbox oil on the road, thus destroying your gearbox and leaving you stranded.

Gearbox end seals often die as a result of constant drivetrain vibrations. Does your car have any bid vibes or wobbles?
