I have a 2000 s4 with a slight oil leak in the lower pan. It's not a bad leak but annoying. I am replacing the axles next week and was wondering how big of a job that would be to do. Any info and/or advice would be great.

 

are you sure its the lower pan or is that were it is all collecting? valve cover gaskets, cam adjuster seals, cam seals and the access port to lock the crank are all well known leaks, as well as the turbo oil return seals.. check those as well.. ive never done an oil pan.. sure you have to pull the engine..

naw.. looks like you have to remove the subframe though..

 

thanks for the info. will see what i can figure out.
