Hi guys I'm going to post this in other forums aswell for a bit of exposure and explanation. On my A7 I noticed a few weeks ago my coolant level low. I topped it up and kept an eye on it. Just had to top it up again, max to min in about a week or two at best guess. So just been having a look round and on the right side of the engine bay as you look at it from the front., behind the turbo and under the egr coolant pipe I believe is where there is a leak. You can just about see it in the pics if they have loaded up and it's a brown puddle. Is there a common problem with the egr or coolant supply to them in that area that anyone knows of and can help me source the leak. Thanks people.

the egr cooler actuator shaft is a known point that can leak slowly and needs a bit of a strip down to get to , im always expecting mine to go at somepoint but its never came
 
Cheers fella I've read that thread and I'm currently have a garage look into my warranty that came with the car. I'm almost tempted to have a go myself in all fairness.
