Thats probably the fluid spraying on something hot - it makes a smell like burning plastic.

It is impossible to accurately establish the specific source of the pressurised leak so I am thinking I should replace the S shaped return pipe and start there. The part of it that I can see is quite 'weathered' so it is not inconceivable to believe it could be worse further along. One further question. Is it possible to replace said pipe with the engine under-tray in place? I will keep you all posted.

That pipe looked tired on mine too, so they're changing it while the engine is out.
Best of luck with the repair, it doesn't sound catastrophic to me. |

You're going to end up with a brand new car Tony! You realise you're are going to have to keep it for life!

Hello all
Anyone have access to the schematic/exploded diagram for the hydraulic system? I have just been into West LDN Audi parts and we seem to be disagreeing on part numbers! I used those in the screen shot earlier in the thread and WLA are saying I need different parts.......
