I think the dreaded engine leak issue just happened to me!

Noticed a few days ago a weird smell from my 2023 etron Chronos in the garage. Pinpointed it coming from my passenger rear wheel area. Thought it was a stuck brake caliper but got under the car and found a brownish sludge on the rear motor assembly heating up and causing the smell. I am guessing this is the coolant leak issue? And only fix is an entire rear motor replacement?

Just had it in for 50K service in June. They said no issues. I am at 51K now, but do have the letter that motor warranty is extended. How much pain am I going to be in with this? Is Audi taking care of it fully under warranty recently? How long will I be out of a car (taking it in tomorrow buy Audi dealership says they have no loaners left).
