Sorry to be so long posting this.
The leak turned out to be coming from a timing cover bolt hole. As well as the gearbox the job also involved the removal of the upper and lower timing covers. The garage reckoned the sealant had deteriorated over time or hadn't been applied properly.

Hi,
Hasn't had the pads changed, but the brake fluid has recently been changed. Only thing is it had an identical leak before it went in for a service and the brake fluid hadn't been touched then.
I've checked the water pump and surrounding area and they have no tell-tale signs.
No sign of any more fluid leaking. I'll just need to see what the garage makes of it next week.
Thank you very much for your time and advice.

I had held off buying an RS3 in the hope that the individual colour options would be available on the new models.My first choice would also have been orange.
Hi Terry,
Thank you for your reply and for the link to the US website - not one I was aware of before today.
It's been very helpful to be able to compare the shades of red - thanks again.
Hello JG51 AUD
Thank you for your welcome. If I go ahead I promise to post pictures.Orange would have been my first choice of colour,but I may settle for an orange tinted red! Potholes? - ah yes I remember them.Luckily there are virtually none in East Ayrshire.
Hi,
Thank you for allowing me to join the forum.
Sorry to start with a question,but hopefully you'll understand why.
I have an interest in an RS3 in stock at a dealer around 200 miles from me.The colour of the car is Catalunya red,and that's where my problem starts.Looking at various photos on...
