    Should I sell?

    I have a 98 A8 4.2. The car is in amazing shape and only has 94k on it. I've had the tranny serviced and a few other minor things done and it hasn't given me problems until recently. I noticed it was leaking so I took it to my mechanic and he did a pressure test on the coolant system and noticed it was leaking a little. He told me there was a small oil leak too( already had the valve cover gaskets done). The rear seal on the driveshaft has a minor leak too. He said he wasn't sure where the oil and coolant leaks were coming from and that he would have to go through the block to find out. I'm trying to decide if it is worth finding out where it's leaking or just selling it. If it turns out to be a major leak(s), I don't think I will be able to afford to repair it. Any advice would be greatly appericated. Thank you

    That's pretty vague info to go on.
    Having to add coolant or see it leaking?
    Having to add oil or see it leaking?
    Example: If it's leaking coolant at the oil cooler (common problem)...tough repair, about $100 total for home mechanic...$1000 dealer.
    If it leaking oil (not burning) or leaking coolant, ANY mechanic with a flashlight should be able to find the source within a few minutes.

    Sounds like an oil cooler leak.
