Passenger side oil leak - help please.

Post by larryvt » Fri Oct 14, 2011 5:22 pm

Hi all,

Have had my RS4 for 3 months and done about 2000miles.
I've just noticed oil all over the wheel arch and pipes under the passenger side of the engine, with a fair sized patch on the drive. :(
I'm guessing this may be oil cooler/pipe related??
Anyone have any ideas?
The car has a front mounted intercooler of note.
I'm no mechanic, so really just need to know how safe it is to drive it (cautiously) to a garage??

Thanks all,
Laurence
