I’m completely new to the TDIs and picked one up about a month ago, has been running great and driving great since i did front brakes and a cv axle but a full coolant reservoir only lasts me about a week or 2. I used whatever it said online and just threw some more in this morning. I was just visually inspecting the motor and saw fluid leaking from what almost looks like some sort of filter near the front of the car between the belts and the passenger headlight (i can’t figure out how to upload a picture here) and was curious what fluid that would be. Also it’s not burning it at all only black smoke out of the rear 🤣
