2001 audi a4 coolant leak! VIDEO included	Sign In

Hi, my audi has a coolant leak. I thought it was the reservoir and yesterday I discovered it is something else where the coolant is leaking. I parked my car yesterday across from redbox. The car was idle and in park. And I spent about 5 min infront of redbox; I turned around and mostly all the coolant had leaked under my car. I opened the hood and saw the coolant leak. I made a video. Any ideas? Please advise what I should do. What parts I can buy?

THANKS!

That video doesn't tell us much. It will have to be examine closer and maybe from below but it's in the general area of the water pump but the timing cover is hiding that.

if you had to guess.. are you thinking a few hundred dollar fix or thousands? I was thinking it could be the lower radiator hose?

Oh BTW i forgot to mention, I drove the car home, 1 mile away, but before i drove the car i bought a newer bottle of coolant and filled up the reservoir. What is weird is that the coolant did not leak when I filled up the reservoir. And now my car has been parked for a day and the coolant is still not leaking.

You need a professional to check it out.
