ok just bought a 99.5 a4 1.8tqm and everything was fine for the first two days but just now i got home parked it and went out to wash it and I see a dark green fluid coming from the passenger rear wheel area, any idea what this is so i can keep the fluid full, im going to have it looked at tommorow but i need to make it to work in the morning, thanks in advance

 

Is it an Avant, or sedan?

 

sedan, not sure what the diff would be for the problem

 

If it were an Avant, it could be washer fluid from the rear resivoir. The only fluid in an Audi that I know is green is power steering fluid. Is it kinda oily?

 

Hmm maybe radiator fluid? Just an idea, dont know how it could get back there but... Its green most of the time!

Regards,

Adam

 

If it's green you've got the wrong fluid. It's supposed to be pink in an Audi.

 

well it was dark green leaking directly from the rear passenger tire area so i think that rules out radiator and washer fluid, but when i hit it with water it turned a rusty color.

 

How do your brakes feel?

 

havent driven it but i pumped the pedal while it was parked and it felt fine and i have the wife look and the fluid didnt drip any faster when i did it

 

There's only 2 fluids I can think of for that area. Fuel and brake fluid. Any more detail on where it's dripping from? Closer to the wheel or further to the center of the car? In front or behind the wheel?
