So I was driving around and where i parked i came back there was oil there and it was from my car and I just bought my audi not to long ago and also the meters in the car liek there a meet all the way on the left says 150 *F what is that for because the stick is on 150. I have a picture attached some one help me thanks

 

the guage you showed is of the Oil Temp, (tells you the temp of the oil) As for where its leaking, I really can't say without actualy looking at it.

 

Well you quite obviously have an oil leak, so stop driving your car immediately. How much oil was on the ground? Check your level and fill accordingly. The needle is on 150*F meaning that your oil temp is way too low (it is below 150). Depending on how much oil you leaked out, it may not even be able to get a temp reading. Whatever you do, don't drive your car.

 

How much oil are we talkin about here, is there any oil on the dip stick? - get unter there and see where its coming from. Have you had your oil changed lately? did they put a new crush washer on <I had an oil leak from the drain plug, and that was the problem. other posible area's are valve gasket, oil pan - most likely front cam seals if its up front or rear seal if its in the back. Take the car back to whoever you purchased it from and see if they will fix it.

 

Oh its the temp it leaked a little bit not to much and its leaking from the front area there oil on the dipstick still i need to drive today so what kind of oil do you guys put it in so i can put it in where i pull out the dipstick so i can drive it with out messing up the engine i am problasly gonna go to duke of oil to get a oil change and make them check if it leaks and where its leaking from but what kind of oil should i put in?

 

How long ago did you purchase this car? seriously try to take it back and get it fixed - if its the front cam and crank seals they cost $10 for the two and $800 to install( you have to remove the whole front end).

 

I put 5w-30 synthetic in mine. Of course only do synthetic, and I run that weight cuz IIRC, thats what Audi recommends in the manual.

 

Alright that sounds good because I havent got a oil change since i got the car its a 2000 audi a4 2.8 runs fine just oil is leaking if theres a oil leak do you know how much they will charge to get fixed?

 

well that kinda depends on where the leak is

 

haha thanks for all your help
