  OFFICE MEMO         FWD>Audi rack fluid leak              Date:  8/20/96


I have a 1987 Audi 5000 Quattro CS that has a slow steering rack fluid leak around the rack seals.  The rack has approx. 100,000 miles on it & I add approx. 1/2 cup of fluid every month.  Fluid drips on top of the transmission near the slave clutch cylinder which is mounted on top of the transmission.

I assume that the leak will gradually get worse.  Is there a way to stop the leak or must I replace the costly rack?
