Default after sitting long enough I could see a few drops

but rarely.

biggest symptom was it only leaked when cold, once warm it was fine IE I drove the car from PA to CO and lost very little, but driving to/from work every day leaked quickly.

Default *UPDATE*

repair completed, picked up the car this morning. It was an o-ring that caused the leak, in the back of the engine. They said it seems to be a common thing on the B6 A4's.

But all is good now!
