I would check the hose clamp on the bottom hose of the tank ( the one nearest the rear of the car) I have had to tighten this one to stop a leak. Halvin

Been there.

When I had my 2001 C4 it was about a year old when it happened.

My wife comes into the kitchen from the garage, walks past me and says "Your $90,000 car is leaking fluid all over the garage floor."

Cold.

Ordered a new tank, coolant sensor and a couple of fasteners for the air pump. Four days until they get here.

In the mean time could you post the vids of paint drying and concrete curing? That will give us something to do for the next four days.
