SHeads -

I seem to be having a fairly serious coolant leak on my '95 S6.  I just 
brought the car to be inspected and I was suspecting that I was having 
some kind of leak or vanishing coolant so I had them pressure test the 
system and they said everything was A-OK.  Well, I checked the oil 
today and found that it was a little low, put some in and looked over 
and my coolant tank was almost empty!  I had been checking the ground 
for coolant and hadn't found anything, so I was pouring some in and my 
wife said "It's coming out all over the ground!"

:-(

I located where it's leaking from and since I don't have any kind of 
manual or Bentley's I took some pictures to show you all to get some 
insight on what this part is that's spewing coolant from my baby.

Also, is it normal for these cars to consume a bit of oil in a month or 
two of hard driving?  Seems like I have to put a quart in every so 
often to top it off.
