hey guys, i have a '01 A4 1.8T...Last night my brother attempted to drive home to chicago from milwaukee and noticed an oil leak when he left his apartment...within 10 miles most of the oil had leaked out and the low oil light came on...he filled it up some more and drove back to his apartment, by the time he got back, the light was back on...there was oil all over the cat from what he could see last night...im going to check it out once i get there....any help as to why so much oil leaked with just a few days....it seems to be inbetween the back of the engine and the front windshield since there is a lot of oil all over the cat..

 

no point guessing just get in there and look, I hope its not serious perhaps just a split pipe or gasket but I wish you good luck

 

thanks.....if your looking in at the engine, the oil leaking is to the right of the cat....somewhere in the back of the engine....had a guy at firestone look at it and he says its just shooting out....he said it felt like a hole...

 

ended up being a bad oil line going to the turbo...$600 later...back up and running.....didnt have much choice but to take it to the dealer b/c my brother had the car up in milwaukee when this happened and we live in the chicago suburbs...

 

which burbs u guys from?
