Default Coolant leak at front of the engine 2006 Audi A4 1.8T b7

Hi there I have a 2006 Audi A4. It seems to leak coolant extremely fast. I will place some in the car and it leaks out fast. Upon investigating it I realized that the leak is coming from behind the timing belt as the water squirts up wards by hitting the belt. Does anyone know a solution ?

You're going to have to pull it apart and take the timing cover off to see what's going on. Could be a head gasket by the sound of it.

The coolant pump is your reason for the leakage. It only has a Oring for the seal. Usually this is replaced when the timing belt is changed. If the timing belt was changed they could of pinched the Oring and that was the cause of the leak.
