Default Fluids run low insight anyone?

Ok heres the problem. My car a 2003 1.8t seems to drink its fluids a little to quick., There dosent seem to be any leaks from underneath the car except for in the far rear partof the engine compartmentkinda near where the tranny sits. It looks like oil but there is pratcially none leaking and i cant tell where its leaking. Also it seems my car goes through coolant pretty quick too. Now there is no signs of any leaks there at all. Perhaps a leaky gasket.Tell me what u think.

duh! your car is thirsty!!!!!!!!




What fluids are running low? thats pretty vague.... oil, tranny fluid, coolant, powersteering?


1.8Ts are known the have the rear coolant flange go out between 50-100k its a easy fix but a hard to reach one making it a pain in the ass job.. its on the back of the engine and usually leaks over the tranny.... search for some DIYs on here, audizine and audiworld all have DIY guides

thing to look at is a leak over the exhaust because it drys quick so I would look at rear coolant pipes at the rear of the engine because its a 1.7 and a known coolant problem
