Leak - help please

Post by Guernsey70 » Sun Feb 06, 2011 4:59 pm

Hi all,

I've just noticed an oil leak (pink in colour) coming out of the front spoiler, near the drivers side wheel.

Any ideas what / where this is coming from?

Thanks in advance.

Pink = coolant
Probably auxiliary radiator leaking which is located under headlight behind bumper

That makes sense. Is it easy / cheap to fix?

Thanks

Around £650 to fix at Audi however a good specialist will be around £500 if doing both.
Only know as mine needed replacing this week.
