Default 96 A4 2.8L Quattro (LEAKING Anti-Freeze)

guys,



my 1996 Audi A4 2.8L Quattro V6....


Ok, So couple weeks ago I am leaking Anti-freeze like a bitch. I take it to shop I find out it's my radiator. Which Is BRAND NEW (i got it in July) So i get it replaced still under warranty of course.

I pick my car up on Friday. Shop informs me they let my car run thursday & it was fine. So Friday i am driving around all is fine I got my car around 9am got home around 7pm. As soon as I am getting rdy to park my Light goes off. I look im LEAKING AGAIN! not from radiator this time but from somewhere else.


What could it be?

Maybe Water Pump?

I looked at car cause I took it to shop next day they lifted it & it seems to be coming from up-top somewhere. Maybe a loose hose?

most likely it's a loose hose, yes.

I just bought a 1996 A4 2.8Q. The previous owner replaced the water pump and timing belt a year ago when the water pump went bad, so you could well be due for that. However, as bentframe suggests, be sure to check the low-cost stuff first, such as loose hose clamps; you could get lucky!

Could that be what's causing it? T-Belt or Water Pump?
