2001 a6 2.8l coolant leaking from back of engine
Found the leak I just don't know what could be leaking from the back of the engine. It's leaking from the passenger side. Any ideas?

crossover coolant pipe. It's a bitch to move out of the way to renew the O-ring. You might be able to tighten the socket head cap screw or bolt(s) that hold it on.

I think you have to do it from the top or drop the motor.
You may even have to remove the intake manifold to get to the other end of the T that is under the manifold. While you're under there it may help to replace the other O-rings on an older engine. This pic may help.

That's what I mean by a beotch. You're looking to move #8 back enough to replace the FOUR O-ring(s) and any other gaskets on components in the way.
