Default Another possibility ...

The bulkhead fitting for the electrical connector to my tranny was leaking. To replace two Teflon o-rings required draining the tranny and dropping the pan. "While they were there", I asked the dealer (Fred Baker Porsche Audi) to change the tranny filter. Since everything else was covered under warranty, I guess the leak was actually good fortune. I got a tranny fluid and filter change at 33k miles for $71, $56 for the filter and $17 for the install.

BTW: Will you be joining us at Grattan this year?

Default There are a couple of breather hoses on the back of the engine, mine where rotten and leaking at 85k

But it never leaked enough for it to end up on the garage.
I had the worst time trying to locate the leak. Everyone thought it was the valve covers.

Default Check the hydraulic lines to/from the pump and reservoir...

They've leaked on every Audi I've had that used the mineral fluid system (5kq, CQ, A6Aq). All use Aeroquip lines with banjo fittings/hard line crimped to high pressure flex hose, and leak at that crimp. Stinky.
