My 3.2 sportback has developed an oil leak. Although it is not enough to leave a mark on the ground, when the car gets up to temp you can smell it!!
It is coming from somewhere around the brake mastercylinder/servo area but there is no visible dripping going on.The engine oil level has never visibly moved and niether has the Brake fluid :think:
The car has been down to Huddersfield Audi and after an hour of searching they cannot find it.

Oh and I'm also getting a recuring Lambda probe fault at full throttle/high rpm?
 
Well, It turns out it's a gearbox seal that is faulty and needs replacing. These are on back order and could take up to 4 weeks to come. :crying:
So in the meantime I have been given an A4 2.0Tdi, this car is just sooo not me!!!, fingers crossed they can get it done quicker.
Hope it hasn't done any long term damage.
