During an oil change today on my 98QM, I noticed some green power steering fluid had leaked down onto the under-engine splash shield. The location was near the far right (passenger) side of the shield. It wasn't there last time I changed oil and I have had to a little bit of fluid a couple of times.<p>Anyone have experience with whether a leak at this location is likely to be just a loose clamp, steering rack problem, or ????<p>Thanks,<p>Dale

I really appreciate your help today with the ECU coding. It was great to learn how to do a quick and easy oil change on the 2.8 too. I think it is just excellent that the filter and drain plug are so convenient and close together.<p>For those who are curious, I am not sure if it is the Wett chip or the well broken in engine, but Dale's 2.8 has great pull and power. I have driven other 2.8 manual tranny A4s and they did not seem to have the surprising umph that his did. The RAM AIR filter may have had a little effect too, but I would suspect that would be at higher RPMs where the engine needs more "breath" v. the lower RPM punch that his engine has.<p>Now remember you need to add your WAZZU Cougar license plate to your modifications list. And you have a really low number on that. I saw one (more like fifty in this town, where are all the Huskies!) which had a 4000+ number. You must have ordered as soon as they were available.<p>Great time, thanks again Dale,<p>Kirk<br>99 A4 2.8Qtip with ECU coding, no UW Huskie plate :(, yet...

Check the steering rack boot. My fluid was down twice. The first time it was a loose clamp (supposedly). When it happened again, I found out it was going into the left steering rack boot. Solution, steering boot replaced 300 miles ago (at 14700). It hasn't leaked again (yet). I've heard of a others losing PS fluid as well. You may want to visit your dealer. Good Luck<p>98 28QM
