One problem fixed - another appears




One problem fixed, now I have another problem.  The turbo problems
discussed in previous e-mails seem to be behind me.  
But, the Audi gods aren't done toying with me just yet.

There is a pin-hole leak in the auxiliary turbo coolant pump very close
to where rubber hose attaches to it.  Suggestions anyone?

Would Plumber's epoxy work?  This is a very small hole.  

And when I get that fixed, I seem to be leaking hydraulic fluid.  The
recently replaced power steering pump is fine.  The hoses attached to
the pump are ok as well.  I have to get the car jacked up to look
underneath to see where the leak is coming from.  It might be the high
pressure hose that goes from the pump to the rack.  If I discover that
the power steering rack is leaking, that will definitely be the last
straw.  The Audi goes up for sale if the rack is leaking.  I can handle
a leaking high pressure hose, but not a rack.

The car HAD been running fine for a while, but the last six months have
been real trouble-some.  I've had one problem after another - but - I
continue to love this car.  

I'll hire a therapist to discuss my love-hate relationship with my car.
