Default Anti Freeze leak(Picture)

Hi, I'm new to these forums but I just bought a 2004 Audi A4 from an auction yesterday and there is a tiny anti freeze leak at the top of the engine. Also my check engine light is on and I'm not sure if this could be the problem. Below is a picture of the leak.

Im just wondering why this might be leaking, its barley leaking but you can smell it in the air

Thanks for the help
Mike

i know that audi has installed some models with a plastic screw and others with a metal screw. Odds are u have the plastic one and its corrioding thus leaking. U should be able to get a replacment screw for cheap and just swap out. Also ur heat may be intermintant due to air getting into the system.

That screw is the bleeder screw. We have replacements below. Depending on your VIN you either need a metal one or plastic.
