Rear Differential?
Hello Guys and Gals,
Just a quick question to run by you all. I have a 89 Audi 200TQ. I love the car but it has devolped a couple problems along the way.
1) I just got the front seals for the front differential done. My dealer said the back ones were seaping a little but no concern. Well a week later I noticed under the car which would be under the back seat a brown thick, thick oil was leaking. What is that?
2) Also my power steering/brake assist fluid is leaking. A couple of the hoses have leaks.. by the accumlator.. any way to fix it without replacing the hoses???
Thank you
Richard

Yes, sounds like the rear diff...
as to the hydralic fittings they are under a lot of pressure, so it may be as simple as a loose fitting. Clean the fitting off, undo them and clean the threads (pipe cleaner works), and put them back. Watch out for cross threading the fittings, they are in kind of a bad spot and it is easy to do. If your still leaking then it is likely time for new lines.
