98 Audi a4 Mysterious parked rad fluid leak.

Could the leak be at the water pump?

Find someone with a pressure tester

i had a new water pump put in when i did the timing belt less then 20,000km ago. i do have a some front came seal oil leaks but they are barely even leaking since they have not let enough oil out to drip down the engine. So the only thing i can think of is the oil may have dried the seal out but i doubt it. and besides if it was a water pump seal its on the other side of the engine so the leak would be on the drivers side.

this post is a bit old but I did find the answer to the issue. The problem was caused by a couple of bad O-rings on a heating tube that runs under the intake. it runs to both heads at the back which is where the leak was. To fix it you need to remove the intake and the emissions parts on the back of the engine so new intake gaskets and emissions gaskets are required to repair it as well as the new O-rings.
