Richard,
  Excellent information!  I checked the fluid and its still full and there
were no wet spots on the ground.  I'm guessing I just blew out the internal
valves on one of the cylinders.  Oh well, I guess 100k miles will do that
sometimes.

Everyone,
  My other question is about bleeding.  I've bled brakes many times before
but nothing as complex as the Quattro system and rarely the clutch system.
Do you need any special tools on an A4Q?  Bleeding is one of my least
favorite activities.  :)

Thanx!
  Richard

BTW: Whats the current online shopping place for Audi parts?  I've been
looking at Blauparts & Auto Parts Warehouse but would like to have some more
opinions.
