 New day, new piece of newspaper under the car, and wouldn't you know it, the red fluid was from a previous burp from the V8, who knows when. 
Red is NOT leaking now. 
But Green Pentosin IS leaking. 
So I took off the air box like Dave suggested, and yes, both of the boots are torn and inner parts are exposed. 
So thanks for the "Jurgen rebuilt" suggestion, Dave. I asked if my shop would put on a rebuilt part, and they said no. ONLY AUDI Original parts.
Maybe that is why the $$cost estimate$$ is $2000.  
SO, 
I am not handy enough to change the rack. 
Any suggestions for Dallas/Ft Worth area service techs who would do this R&R for me using a Jurgen Rebuilt rack?
It leaves about a quarter-sized dollop of pentosin every time after driving. 
Fluid level in the tank is just a bit low, I have refilled about 3 ounces one time. 
 
Who wants to earn $60 x 8 hrs to R&R this for me?

Thanks,
