hi, could anyone shed a little light on this for me please? i seem to have quite a major oil leak on my S4 i took the undertray of to investigate a rattle and discovered an oil leak coming from the front behind the rad, right side as your looking at the front, it seems to be dripping of a hose but might be coming from higher up, its dripping at a rate of 1 every 2 seconds so i need to sort it promptly but audi dealer wants a fortune to investigate!!!


Can anyone suggest anything??

Thanks in advance

 

Well I'm honored to meet someone with a 2003 S4! For the record, there is no US 2003 S4

 

glad you feel honoured. but here in the uk they are. mine was registered may 2003.

 

ok, not sure this will help, but I would start with an underbody wash of the car. This should remove most of the oil in the area and make things a little bit easier to diagnose by yourself.

At that rate of leakage, I would hope that it would become clear pretty quicklywhere it is dripping from.

All the best.

 

Right, had it into my local garage and they looked at it for me, nturned out to be the top hose on the oil cooler just needed tightening up.
