Bad oil leak
Hello,
I bought a B6 2.4l last week and in the last few days a oil leak has been getting worse and worse.
The car is a right hand drive and if I look underneath the car it seems to be coming from near the left side of the engine(if you are sitting in the car). At first I noticed it was just a few drops but now it is getting pretty bad, overnight it dropped about a 20cm puddle.
The car is under warranty but what possible reasons are there for this kind of oil leak.

So I'm guessint it's a diesel right? Keep checking the oil level and if you have a warranty have the place you bought it from check it.
Check the engine compartment to see if you see an obvious reason for the leak (i.e. the filler cap loose/not present)

I have checked the engine and transmission oil regularly and they seem to be at a good consistent level but the car is just leaking more and more.
Here are a few photos.

There had a bit of oil around the oil filter but that has been cleaned up and I have left the underbelly pan off the car and am doing a few tests to see if it is coming from the filter.
