Car is a 2011 5.0 A6 Vert.
Just over the last 4-5 days, she has been leaving half dollar sized puddles on the garage floor. I put the car up on ramps to try and locate the source of the problem, and nothing. No residual trail to trace, no indicator of any kind - the underside is literally clean and dry. She has been doing this intermittently, one day she leaks; the next day nothing :shrug:.
Well today, I went out to move the car and there was a larger puddle than there has been. Put the car on ramps again, and finally able to see where it is coming from. It is coming from the backside of the block, I am guessing up top. Doesn't appear to be from just one side, due to the path of the trail. I am about to take it to the dealer and get it looked at, but figure I am going to have to battle the "You modded it, were not covering it" Service Tech.
Would like to hear you guys thoughts as to what the cause of this is. I don't have a clue what the back of the block looks like - is there a coolant crossover tube/hose back there that could be leaking?
Just looking for ideas ATM, I will post a pic of what I am seeing under there shortly.
