[Hockey27925]

hey i have an 2002 1.8t quattro, and lately ive been dealing with this oil leak of having to refill a quart every 700 miles or so. dealer says its normal, no way!!! others say bad seals on the turbo, but not blowing smoke or no oil in coolant res. any other thoughts or comments??

is you PCV full of grease?

[Hockey27925]

no i just had cleaned out like a year ago, could it have clogged up again

check you gaskets, i had valve cover gasket leaking at the lowest point, really easy to replace.

[Hockey27925]

yea i just replaced the valve cover gasket not too long ago over the summer, and the oil leak keeps blowing through it, maybe the pcv system is clogged cauing it to blow out somewhere, any ideas anyone.....

Sounds like we have the same car LOL. Replace the timing chain tensioner gasket. It's a biotch to get to, real cheap for the part, and cured my oil leak for good. You need the special tool for the job.
Use the forum SEARCH.

[Hamotee]

I think he is talking about the cam chain.

Are you SURE it's a leak?

Check your drain plug and oil temp sensor. They are common causes of leaks. Is your car smoking at idle?

no drain plug i replace with every change, and temp sensor has no leaks
