I've been driving my 83 urq almost everyday for the last year and a half. Now 
that we've got over a foot of snow up here in New England, I'll be driving 
the 94 S4 winter beater car. I moved the urq from one side of the garage to the 
other yesterday, and noticed this morning a large puddle of ATF under the 
engine! A quick examination doesn't really show where it is leaking from. The oil 
pan is covered in ATF, but I can't seem to find the area that is leaking. I 
did notice that it looks a little wet around the ATF canister cover. Could 
pressure somehow push the fluid back into the canister and overflow? The other area 
I need to check is the lower pressure sensor under the bomb. Maybe that's 
leaking. Funny How there was nothing on the garage foor where the car was parked 
the day before, but just by starting it and moving it to the other side of the 
garage would cause the leak. Any BTDT's?
