I want to make sure that it's oil, not transmission fluid leaking out my s4. I very recently added oil. The fluid looks clean, like brand new oil. It's alot lighter then the oil sampled from the stick. It doesn't really have a strong smell. Just trying to be safe. Any ideas?

btw.. when i brought my car in to get it checked out and clear codes for emsissions ( along with some work done) thye mentioned a problem with the valve cover gaskets. From what i know this would cause a oil leak. So, this may be pretty obvious..

 

Ok, you really have no usable information in your post. WHERE IS IT LEAKING FROM ? What does it smell like?

Then you state the VGC are leaking, gee, maybe that's where the oil is from? [:@]

It's very, very common for the S4 to leak oil, that is a very common leak, read the FAQ.
