Just got this A6. I am leaving oil spots everywhere? Is there a common problem with the 01 A6's. I am scared my local dealer will give me the shaft. Any ideas? BTW it is coming from way up frontof the engine.

I have been diagnosed as having leaky cam seals, does the TSB work around relate to 2.7T models as well, or just 2.8L?

 

great info ryuuoh! thanks for the help. hope i can return the favor 1 day.

 

Cam seals tend to leak less than cam adjuster seals.
Leaking seals and other sources for leakages are common for Audi, for years.
You have the option:
-fix everything right => $$$
- drive it as is ( but monitor the fluid levels).

 

i had my VC gaskets along with camchain tensioner gaskets and half moons replaced a little while ago. Now i have a leak on teh passenger side near the firewall. i get smoke too. the work that was performed there looks good. no sign of oil leak...

I don't know ....
