This was so good to watch. Thanks for taking the time to help others.

This was very helpful! B7 A4 3.2 6mt owner here with a few small oil puddle spots under the car. Just ordered valve cover gaskets hoping that will take care of part of it and will move down your list afterwards. Thanks! -Austin

Thanks man, now I know where to look! Checking out a second hand audi a4, will check this before I buy. Again thanks man, keep up the good work!

Very helpful! I had all of the leaks you showed 😂

Excellent video! thanks

Excellent! Thank you! I took my Q5 to Audi to get it diagnosed. They are telling me valve gaskets, upper timing covers and cam adjuster o rings. I'm now gonna check the oil filter housing. All seems pretty straight forward. The dealer wants $3800 for the job. Ha! No chance. $80 worth of parts from FPC Euro.

Thank you!

I have and Audi 2015 3.0 Quattro tdi it has an oil leak but my mechanic can’t find out from where ? I think he said something above the alternator? Any idea what this could be ?

Thanks for the video, for the upper timing cover portion. I cant find any videos that show how to remove it. Can you give some pointers ? thanks.

Very informative video, appreciate it. Would you happen to know the source of oil leak getting onto the alternator? Just changed the valve cover gaskets but don't know if that's the only cause

what about oil in the coolant reservoir?

07 A4 3.2 6MT did the vacuum pump reseal/gasket, VCG, camshaft solenoid o rings, replaced the oil filter top housing & new spark plugs as the 110k mile service. After everything, we power washed under carriage of oil stains & cleaned engine bay. So far, upper/lower timing chain housings are dry of oil. The car was initially throwing cyl 1 misfire code (no hiccups or rough idle aside from the engine light) & noticed some oil on the tip of a coil pack I’m concerned about the cam girdle gaskets eventually failing. How often have you seen that with higher millage 3.2s?

Thank you for this video. I picked up my friend 2006 a4 3.2l v6 avant. He said the rear main seal is leaking but I have a hard time believing that’s what it is when I am under the car. I do notice I also have the puddle under the intake manifold. What do you recommend changing on the oil separator? Just the gasket or the unit too? And as this is being done I will also do the oil filter housing changed and see if the oil leak comes back.

Hey I picked up a 2010 q5 with the 3.2 I can smell oil burning and can see it on front drivers side of the motor looks to low to be the valve cover do the heads leak on these ? I can send a picture it might help you and me

Hey how’s it going, very informative video, I have a A6 3.2 Quattro 2008 one side (driver side) of the coil packs have oil Buildup around it and on it and the that side of the exhaust pipe blows out way more smoke .. any help here would be appreciated!

06 A4 Quattro here... I think mine is a valve cover gasket issue. However, I check the oil almost daily because I am worried. Engine oil level has not decreased since I first noticed the small amount of white smoke due to the burning oil. Is this something that I can wait till my next check to get fixed or should I stop driving all together until I get it diagnosed/fixed?

I am worried about my Cam Girdle seals. I have one out of 6 spark plug holes full of oil. Is it possible that it is just coming from the valve cover gasket?

I have a 2009 audi a5 3.2. I’ve been dealing with a small leak that drips down near the passenger side of the engine. What would you recommend checking when I lift it to check under there? I’ve changed valve cover gaskets and the oil filter housing but I’m still getting small drips of oil.

I have an A4 B7 with a 3.2 and there is a tiny bit of oil dripping on the catalytic converter resulting in white smoke and a foul smell in the cabin, Could it be the oil filter housing?

I have a 2005 Audi A6 3.2 Quattro in Excellent Condition but with major oil leak. Aside from the vaccum pump, I see alot of oil below the coolant bottle towards the back of the engine. It's landing on the exhaust manifold shield and burning. It doesn't appear to be leaking from the cam solenoid adjuster. The rear timing chain covers were sealed in the past. There is oil everywhere. I know the cam girdle gasket below the spark plug valley is leaking into the spark plugs but not sure how the oil is leaking out. oil filter housing looks okay. No leaks on top of engine. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can the oil filter housing leak long enough to get the clutch wet and make the clutch slip? How hard is it to replace the oil filter housing?

Mine appears to be leaking from the oil housing on the front of the engine near the fuel metering valve and low fuel pressure sensor. Is that easy to replace?

Anyone that seems to have a valve cover gasket & you change it & it still leaks please look at the gaskets on the solenoids I have been trying to figure my leak out for a 1/5 & finally fixed my leak

@3:06 it's exactly what I have right now on my '09 Audi A5 S-line

Oil leak between engine and transmission is commonly from oil filter housing?

bad oil leak 3.2 2010 passenger side front, so far not finding it. (alternator has a ton of fresh oil on it, as does the lower radiator hose etc).

I took my car to a shop to verify all my oil leaks they said my rear main seal is “gushing” but I’m worried it might just be the oil filter housing which they also said was leaking. I have a 2010 3.2l A5. Any tips on what to do

I’ve had all those: brake vacuum pump, valve cover gasket, oil housing between 150k-160k mileage (2007 Audi A4)

I have 2011 Audi Q5 with 78,000 miles it has leak shop fixed first leak oil leaking from somewhere now it’s leaking again lost of power this thing is trouble 🤦🏾‍♂️ I’m getting tired of it already
