Check to see where the edits in the audio line up with the picture cuts. I would also suspect that something was nudged in the video room without noticing that the audio hadn't moved. Then you should be able to find the cut where it all goes out of sync.

Hope it helps!

you might be under the impression that the video guys know 100% what they are doing.

so, besides the audio being 2 frames longer then the video, is it actually out of sync? does the P's and T's of dialog seem off? hard production effects which u can jog?

one of my jobs is to sync up shows and movies audio to picture cause sometimes the video editors just dont care, dont realize it or know the audio guys will fix it. it depends on the project and editors.
so jog around the program material and see if there is a jump or place where the editors might of moved the audio by accident. see that eveything is in sync , specially video and production.

2 frames also sounds like they applied or rendered an effect and pushed the video 2 frames out of place.
but ive only seen this twice and not in this context but in picture corrections. so not likley but something to look at. fixing it is just conforming the audio to picture.
