Since my mom had a hip replacement and wasn't able to drive for a few 
months I've had my '88 80Q parked in her garage while I used her Mazda. I 
was taking the quattro out every other week or so to drive it, then 
putting it back in the garage.

One very very hot day after getting my emissions checked, I parked the car 
in the garage. The next time I looked at the car there was a bluish puddle 
under the car spreading from a few inches inside the RR wheel over to the 
outside of the wheel.

My diff looked a little shiny, and I know it seeps a little, but I was 
puzzled at the sort of bluish color. I do use ATE blue brake fluid.

The fluid level in the brake reservoir seems normal.

Any ideas?
