Yup! You're right, Gary. At just over 91K mi., our 95.5 S6 has developed an
intermittent leak in the last couple of weeks. Put it up on the ramps,
pulled the under tray, and let it set for a day. Got under there with my
trouble light yesterday and traced it up to a single droplet hanging from
the bottom of the auxiliary (after-run) pump. Can't see evidence of it
coming from anywhere else. Tonight, I'll bring it up to temp and see if I
can catch it in the act. Of course, just sitting cold, it leaves a big spot
on the drive. Reservoir down to near empty, too.



Anyone know the best source for these? Thanks!
