Ah ha! only the cool people know about the drain plug.

The Mercury Sable with the 24V V6 came with 48K about a year ago for about $2K. I put tires on it -the old ones were cracked - did an oil change, and a rear muffler. It now has 71K and going strong. Your problem was the supercharger LOL

Your in for a fun time with the Audi if you thought the Mercury was a money pit. Good luck!

Superchargers lend themselves to problems for sure. A similar supercharged 3800 was in a Ford Supercoupe I had. It was constantly leaking oil and having other problems.
