Oil leak?

[Mr.Audi]

Keep getting these spots under the injectors
Not sure if it's oil
Def no fuel smell

Valve cover seem like it could stand to be replaced

But how would/does it jump that far out?

Those are not fuel injectors, they are fuel temp sensors for the high pressure fuel system. The injectors are under the intake manifold. Dont know why they are leaking tho. Strange.

Looks like mouse piss and poop I had the same problem this winter... sometimes they will jump up into your engine bay when it is cold to stay warm... I garage my Car and they still get in.

Hah, that's actually not what they are either. They're cam actuators to control the lobe state of our variable-lift cams. Here's a video showing how the whole system works. You can see these actuators fade in around the 1:55 mark.

If the PCV valve fails and allows boost pressure into the crankcase you may get the type of oil splatter you are seeing. Be aware we don't ave a normal valve cover. You can't just pop it off and redo the sealant; the cover also holds the cams in place.

Man thanks for the heads up

I noticed some oil around the pcv also (on top the vc , has a twist cover?)
Just looked wet/nothing puddled or anything
