My gas-station Audi-fahrfromexpert says it (or rather the 
PS fluid put in by PO) leaks from the PS pump (only, apparently).
Which rounds out the broken xmission mount, exhaust manifold
leak, and gone wheel bearing. Did I overpay at $350 for this
'84 5KS?

Hmm, maybe I can help. (I'm German, and I do have to admit
that just the wording above is not entirely clear.)
Are you wondering whether it means "a few drops" vs. "regular
drops, until there's none left?" Not sure, but I'd guess
it's somewhere in between. It seems to me that it soud stop after a 
few drops if the motor is off, but drip - slowly - continously
when it's running.
