Thanks very much. Yes it's a fresh water-cooled A4. Joseph, I am going to check the sump near the mast step too, but based on where it's pooling I think it's coming from the bilge just forward of the motor under the cabin sole - the hardest spot to reach. John, if that turns out not to be

You could also try arranging some white paper towels on a cookie sheet or bits of plywood under the engine. Pumps are a particular candidate for suspicion in my opinion, especially when temperature changes appear to be a factor. Steve Thomas C Merritt Island, FL Ryan Doyle via CnC-List

I have a similar problem.every year / winter I loose engine coolant into the 'after bilge'.   All hoses replaced.  Still happens.  Haven't found the source of the leak yet.Any recommendations for coolant dyes?  Probably less than a quart, but never a drop during the sailing season.

My A4 is fresh water cooled . If you have Anti Freeze in your motor . I am guessing that it is a closed system . You can pressure test your engine. There should be a heat exchanger on the engine . There is a sump under your mast step on the 30 - 1 also . The antifreeze may be coming from there
