1998 A8 Quattro power steering line leak
I think it's leaking by the frame on the inside of the frame just behind the rear wheel, but I can't see. Do I need to take the insulation off?

My d2 A8 has a PS line leak. I see the lines going along the top of the frame inside the driver wheel well, and if I remember, one goes to the rack, and one or more go down on the inside of the frame, behind some insulation. I'm not sure where they go. The leak seems to be a bit on the top of the frame, but after cleaning all that, the major leak is behind the insulation. I can't find any pics or diagrams, and I haven't spent hours investigating this. I am wondering if that frame insulation can be removed to see the entire line so I can get it apart and fixed...

So it seems my rack is leaking just above the frame but there's some foam there and Ill have to see if that comes out. I think I then have to remove the curly tubing from the rack. Will have to do some more work this weekend to see better. Very hard working in that space...
