Water was getting into mine, so I replaced the sealing gaskets.

You wouldn't believe the difference between the old and new gaskets.  They're 
made of some kind of foam material that _really_ gets tired with age.  The new 
ones were easily three times the bulk of the old ones.

"Brown eyes" are a common feature of older ur-quattros.  It seems that the 
inner (H1) reflectors are very prone to corrosion on cars that aren't used vey 
much.
