Default I think I found the culprit of my missing coolant..? and part #s need though (paging Carson)...

It looks like its coming from the Heater return hose (located above the mess in the pic) from that leads into the back of the engine. It seems to have been dripping down to the tranny for a while.

2 questions. Can anyone tell me what type of clamp that hose (particularly the side that goes into the engine) is used? My guess would be a C-clamp? Also I'm not sure how to gain access to replacing this would entail. Has anyone changed this hose before? TIA!

btw part #s would be greatly appreciated for both hose and new clamps! =)

Default hmm...woudl you happen to have a diagram on where exactly the flange is located?

It was tough to see underneath all the EGR stuff.

I found this thread, and it could quite possibly be this.....if its a common leak area.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/threads/887595.phtml#2748200">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/threads/887595.phtml#2748200</a</li></ul>

Had to replace that when I first bought mine. It's pretty easy
