Default Mystery Rad fluid leak.

Hi all just looking for some feedback on an issue i been having lately with my 1998 audi a4 2.8L quattra.

Recently i bought a jetta so the audi has been parked for roughly a month. Recently when i want to go start it up keep the stuff flowing i noticed a puddle under my car. It was all rad fluid and i could not see any sign of where it came from aside from where its center of the puddle was under the car. I lost approximately half a Liter of fluid. I started the car up expecting to see it **** fluid out but .. nothing i gone back twice a week to check it and it is still leaking parked but not while driving it. i drove it for a half hr with no problem lvl stayed the same.

The leak is right approximately under the alternator. Im thinking maybe i broke a seal or hose cause i ended up having to slap 4 alternators in a row in my car before i got one that worked right so i had to disassemble the front all four times.

So any feedback would be good on monday ill be going to get it on a hoist to try and figure this leak out.
