    My weeping RS6

    Ever since I started to talk about selling my car my RS6 developed a strange but persistent problem. She would weep or leak fuel from the passenger side, but when I bring her in to get fixed no one finds the issue. Any ideas ?? I will try and get some pics tonight.

    Crack in the fuel tank filler neck? I have heard this is a common problem.

    Good luck - Craig

    Was the internal fuel pump serviced recently? Does it only leak if tank has more than 70% fuel?

    I know the rs6 has a recall for the nipple in the gas tank or something like that.

    Well RS6 went in at the Dealer'$ now to see what damage this is going to cost me. Seems I have a turbo feeder tube that is leaking as well
