BAD Coolant Leak !!!
my 2000 Audi just started to leak recently & it was only dipping at first, now it pours out as soon as i fill it up. I was wonderin if any1 could help me out. I can;t seem to find the leak. Its leaking on the driver side behind the turbo, between the engine & the transmission. I was wanted to know if this is a common problem.

I'm guessing not.
Wayne, your symptoms match my own. When I finally got the APR bi-pipe off (*sigh*), I stuck my hand in between the manifold and the engine and found that my pump had literally fallen apart.
If you're going to DIY, here's a few guides you should look at first...
Removing the manifold method:

Probably not, since the thermostat housing is under the timing belt cover, under the water pump at the front of the engine (on a 2.7t), and his is leaking at the rear passenger side.
I did my auxilary water pump a few weeks ago the long way, by removing the intake manifold. I don't think my hands are small enough to do it the way described in the threads linked previously. Wow! I didn't replace my hoses, but replaced all clamps with worm clamps. No more leaks.
