    Hi,

    I have had my A6 2.7 avant s line for about 2 months now and have noticed that some times there is about the equivalent of a cup of liquid leaked out from under the engine bay, but the car is not over heating and running lovely.
    Should I be worried?
    Thanks in advance for any advice...

    Agreed! If it's clear, odourless and watery, there's nothing to worry about. If it looks like engine coolant, PAS fluid, engine oil, gearbox oil or smells of screenwash, then it requires further investigation...
