Default Help please...got a small coolant leak around my oil filter...if someone could please tell...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/42872/cooler_hose_6-2-04.jpg"></center><p>me if the hose that is "sadly" outlined in white is supposed to tuck inside the pipe outlined in red(toward the back of the car) and attach to the oil cooler or should it go towards the front of the car from the pipe to the cooler...It seems more efficient to go towards the front as to not pinch the hose. Please let me know if anyone here is sure. Thanks a bunch.

Default I have the same thing but not as severe...

my coolant level isnt dropping noticeably either. Were you just in for a recent service visit? Maybe they spilled some?

Default Yeah...they replaced the coolant reservoir. However last night I cleaned...

it all off thinking that maybe they did spill it. But tonight I checked and came up with these pics. Sooo, it's leaking from the cross tube and where it goes into the oil cooler. SUCKS!!! Back into the shop...
