I have 2.0 tdi that leak a bit of coolant i spotted i few drops on the bottom of the radiator on left side ( driver's) right next to the intercooler pip- the level in the expansion tank is at maximum .My trusted service guy is extremely busy and can't take a look at the car now but im worried to drive it like that.From where is the cooland leaking ?

Looks like the radiator itself it’s weird I saw this post after ripping my own radiator out for the same reason. My drivers side decided to leak yesterday

As Neil says, best to pressure up the system via the coolant reservoir with a screw on pump, that'll tell you for sure.
Common thing on 8P is the rad corners.

Yesterday just when i was writing a reply he called and i jumped from my seat in the car and rushed to him and yes it was the radiator.He suggested to "plug it" with bardahl radiator stop leak (this is the best available in my country ) .And he confirmed that this was weak spot on the a3 (he has one too).So a new radiator will be mounted with new cooling fans but not immediately.
