Looks like I have a tiny leak that has shown up as the TT sits in winter storage. I noticed a small wet spot under the passenger side turbo.

Not sure what fluid it is but it is dripping off the wastegate actuator before it hits the ground. Looking above this in the engine bay looks like the Pentosin resovoir behind the oil fill cap. So I am guessing it is power steering fluid.

I put a paper towel down to try to see how much and what the fliud is. Seems to be very watery, clear to light yellowish, no odor that I can detect. Only a couple drops per 24 hours.

I can take/post pics not sure if they would help. Not sure if this leak is just because of cold temps causing parts to shrink or if I've got something serious as the leak is very slow/minimal.

Thanks for the help guys.

The power steering pump lines originally came with aluminum crush washers that were prone to leak. They were updated to copper, but this may not have been done on your car. They are on the high pressure lines in the vicinity you are talking about. Remove the intercooler and they are readily accessible.

Does anyone know the part# for the updated crush washers? How many are needed...4?

Thanks,

You need 2 for the power steering pressure line 90012300730, there are also 2 on the clutch pressure line, but I can't confirm that they are the same #.
