Found coolant near lim
so i was taking apart the upper intake manifold, when i saw some coolant. it was actually a pretty good amount of it on the top of the motor pooled. what does it mean? my seals are bad? i checked the surrounding area, but i couldnt find where it was coming through. any thoughts?

you have a TII motor in it? if so coolent runs threw the lim. you may need a new o ring. and lim gasket...but then i look at the picture and notice a drip on the wire bundle above it. maybe from your tb? try looking for a blistered hose. or clean it up put it back together and presure test it.

He has a S4... his BAC valve is on the dynamic chamber. S5s have the BAC valve on the VDI manifold (above the LIM).::::EDIT::::. my fault... didn't see he was turbo I just read 87 base
If it weren't for that... that would be my guess.
On my S5... behind the waterpump right under the alternator, is where the coolant hose goes from the BAC valve... (dont know the name of it). Does the S4 have that as well? If so... check that connection.
