I just traced down a slow leak on my car (I'm in a hurry to get it
fixed, I've got track time on Wednesday at Limerock!). In my case it
wasn't any of the usual suspects (afterrun, plastic T, plastic connector
on the head, etc). I traced it down by cleaning all the coolant off the
engine, regulating my compressor down to 15psi and watching the pool
(slowly) form.
In my case the leak was coming from the water manifold(?!?), the last
port that is sealed with an o-ring into the head. I've got the parts on
the way from the audi dealer. I'll spend tuesday pulling the intake
manifold to get to it and then R&R the seals. Oh what fun..
