[200q20v] Audi leaking petosin, not the Jeep!

[Kneale Brownson]

Oil all over the reservoir sounds like the famous Pentosin Volcano, which 
normally results from the pump sucking air somewhere.  Usually it means the 
internal seals (a bunch of O Rings) have grown hard with age/heat, etc., 
and no longer provide complete sealing.  You can buy a kit to reseal the 
pump (procedure is described pretty well in the Bentley for your car) or 
replace with a pump someone else resealed.  The latter costs ~ ten times 
the former.
