I thought it was water pump, so while doing timing belt, I have replaced my water pump with a new one and a seal. I have assembled everything together, and still have a leak, so today I took everything apart because I thought it might be defected water pump, but it is not the case. I took some pictures to show you where it is coming from. I think it might be coming somewhere from the engine block, behind alternator bracket. Its a 98 A8 with over 120k miles<ul><li><a href="http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g157/blazej01/Florida2006001-2.jpg">Water pump</a></li></ul>

1. read the forum prior to starting the work.
2. Always replace that oil filter housing cooling line when ding the TB service.
