Noticed an oil leak

[brilliant_black]

Started noticing a drop or two of oil on the ground.

When I was having exhaust done yesterday I saw this:



APR STAGE 2
034 HFC

Changed oil as well as plugs and filters recently.

Could it be the drain plug washer? I got the magnetic one from Europa Parts since I got the whole service kit from them.

My buddy and I are going to pull the cover off this weekend to see.

Since it's only been a drop or two on the floor the MMI oil level hasn't changed at all.

NOTE: The car had the pistons replaced shortly after purchasing it for the known oil consumption issue.

All I can say is make sure you have fresh, proper, crush washer on there. ECS sent me regular washers with my magnetic plug. Lost a full quart over night. If you look at the pics, you can see a thin line on the inside of the washer that allows it to crush better without over-torqueing the plug.

Here's the right part:

Thanks,

Does that washer fit the B8 A5 2.0T?
The only A5 I see is the 3.2.

Both washers are the same size, so it should be good to go.
