    Air Leak/Hissing Noise From the Front

    I've been hearing a slight hiss coming from the front of the vehicle that I don't remember hearing when I first purchased the car. Sounds like a small air leak/hiss and it's coming diretly in front of the engine by the throttlebody. I think a valve went or something but hoping I can get some suggestions (or maybe it's normal?). Have an appointment with my audi service but it's a month out. No codes, only thing I've noticed is my MPG has been pretty low for what I thought it'd be for this car. Video below.

    If a mod sees this, please delete. Posted on wrong platform (B9 S4 in vid).

    Good way to find air leaks is spraying some soapy water on any fittings. If you see bubbles start to form rapidly that's where the leak is. But I also have the same exact noise in the same exact location just behind the throttle body (B9 S5). I've yet to actually find any actual leak though.
