Where is the fluid going?? I don't see it on the ground..I doubt this very much, but is it all possible that it is getting into the engine or transmission??
I haven't able to look at the undercarriage and I don't see anything in the engine compartment that would indicate a leak.....

Power steering? You do know the clutch and brakes use the same reservoir, correct?

Power steering fluid..Yes, I know that also assists in braking...

You probably have a leak in the p/s rack. You typically won't find it on the ground, because it leaks out while you're driving. Had the same problem with my '87 5000Q; was replaced under warranty.

Thanks.....I know that 87's had rack problems, but do the A4's still have racks??

My PS fluid is low - when it gets really cold, I see air being drawn into the circuit at the bottom of the reservoir in a little vortex, and I can hear a buzzing sound coming from the PS pump for about 5 minutes. I'll get this topped up today, but should I be worried about any damage?

unfortunately neither was under warranty

Ditto on my 87 4KQ

Air can damage pump, make sure you're topped-up and bled.
