A6 2.7T have some questions
I just buy few days ago an 2.7 T from 2000 year (71k miles), the engine runs great, everything working good, but i have few questions:
1. When i go to change the oil, when they get down the skid plate under the engine, everything there was dirty in oil.
After i`m stopping the engine after i run with the car it`s a little smoke going from a right side under the engine, by smel it`s a oil, but i`m cheking the oil all time and i it`s the same place and i don`t need to add nothing.
Could be a leak from turbos? or is another thing? It`s bad for the turbos this leak?.
2. Another thing is when i pushing the acceleration i hear some kind a "whistle" from the engine, a friend of myne mecanic told me that for engine with turbos is normal this sound, and they are working properly.
3. In the mornings when i start the engine for about 10-20 seconds it`s a strange sound from the engine, it`s like a squezzing, after that this sound stops, could be the turbos?
4. Now when i change the oil i put Castrol SYNTEC 5W-40, it`s god oil or i will need to change it?
Thank you for your response.
P.S. Sorry for my english, this is not my native language

You could have a very slow leak. from where I dont know.
The whistle is those twins. And it is great.
the sound you hear when you start your car could be the secondary air pump. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xksFU5TFVDo

Yes the sound is the same like in video, thanks.
About the whistle i hope everyting is ok, because this is a first time when i have a car with turbo engine.
I hope the leak is not very important, but i will go to check what is the proble.
What about the oil that i`m using (Castrol SYNTEC 5W-40) it`s ok?

For oil leak, you probably have either valve cover leak or cam adjuster leak. Also cam seal leak is a possibility as well. It is common with these cars.
I use Castrol 5W-40 on my car. It has been working great.
