Kenneth;

This sounds like the dreaded fuel line failure. Check the flex line from
the fuel filter to the hard pipe that runs along the firewall. This is a
common failure on the UrS cars. Don't drive the car with this leak -
spraying fuel around a hot turbo is not a good idea. Audi will replace this
line free of charge if you push them.

i've been getting a fuel smell right after startup.  The aroma is pretty
"oderific!"  And while i've been looking for pressure losses and loose
seals, i haven't turned up much.
