    Oil leak. Wtf man.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Some of you might recognize that I posted a couple days ago about a oil leak. Tried to see if the gasket might have blown out, and that was a no. Tried to put things back on, and no. Any time I get anything into the oil system, it will just puke it out. I'm tired of throwing oil into it. I thought I had it taken care of, but now it just spews it out any chance it gets.

    Is there an oil relief valve somewhere that I can't find? Some type of pressure relief valve designed to dump everything upon startup? I've researched everything I can, and I can't find a damn thing.

    Is it possibly something else?

    Is there a part I need to replace?

    Is there some kind of issue to something I did?

    I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty pissed about the whole situation. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. I'm desperate for any help I can get. Any of the audizine members in utah county, I'll buy you lunch if you're willing to come down and help me figure this out. Because I don't know what's going on anymore.

    I think it's safe to say this will be my last audi if the issue persists.

    Take a pressure washer/ hose to it. Get it all cleaned up, then start the car... Check it.... Run the car....Check it. The problem is you keep asking for help, but I haven't seen a single picture or any investigative information.

    Oil pressure light means you aren't holding enough oil pressure ( no shit Sherlock). Get the car on some Jack stands and get your ass under the car

    Oil Filter Housing? My buddy's A4 was puking about half his fill up after a day. He ended up topping off with cheap oil until he replaced the entire housing.

    I agree with Sanjman,

    clean up your engine bay and undercarriage (and top of underbody trays from inside engine bay where oil would likely drip) in the carwash

    maybe use Gunk engine brite gel degreaser as well around the really caked areas and then fill oil, get to operating temp, and watch where it drips.

    Then post pictures and we will be able to help you. Cant give us such vague explanations and think anyone can help you.
    post the following:
    valve cover gasket
    oil filter housing
    oilpan showing plug and gasket



    Suggest you go after the easy checkoffs first
    -is oil drain plug in?
    -is oilpan cracked or dripping at gasket? (might need to remove belly pan to inspect)
    -is oil filter housing leaking?
    -is valve cover leaking?
    -rear main seal leak under transmission/engine mating point?
    - you'd prob have a code for intake air leak and weird jumpy idle
    These are the only issues off the top of my head that could cause oil leakage other than head gasket problems which I doubt.

    any recent work lately?
    hit anything recently?
    car running fine when not under low oil pressure?
    Did you remove the belly pans to inspect the oil pan?
    park car and see where oil drips on the floor and see if its dripping off of a belly pan in which case it probably moved from where the actual drip is or if its dripping from a specific area/component - use this to narrow down where in the engine bay you are looking

    There is no pressure release valve its a sealed system. This should be relatively easy to do the above with little to no mechanical ability, otherwise get it into a competent mechanic who should be able to get it on a hoist and find the problem pretty easily with likely 30 mins diagnosis time.

    No offense but I'm guessing you don't have a whole lot of mechanical skill so Id suggest just letting a mechanic handle all of this but I've at least given you a good start to find it yourself.
