Everyone’s favourite topic- DRC

If there is a leak in the front pipe, does anyone know if that will also effect the rear?
Is the oil shared throughout the whole system or split front and rear I.e would a leak in the front end up draining the whole system?

Noticed suspension feels a bit bumpier than usual and on inspection there seems to be a bit of clear oil under car near front drivers wheel.
This is after Audi changed the DRC oil and re-pressurised and inspected the system less than two months ago!!!

Others will know better than me but I thought they were connected diagonally. So front nearside to rear offside etc.

Yes connected diagonally.
Sounds like you have a leak and will need re-doing.

It is safe to drive- albeit very gently?

Assume a leak will just mean DRC isn’t working and it will be wollowy?

That told me not to drive as it’s can damage shocks & centre valves , I’ve got a full set of low miles pipes & pair of rear shocks if needed

Thanks!
It goes to a local specialist I trust in Tuesday. Car is still under warranty so hopefully that will cover costs but if not I’ll let you know!

Am certain this is Audi’s f-up. Don’t trust them to fix it properly but once confirmed by specialist they are going to get both barrels!

So the reservoir on my osf shock is weeping and the whole thing needs to be replaced.

Rear near side shock also isn’t working as expected but the garage suspects this could be because all of the oil has drained and the DRC needs repressurizing.

I hope that’s the case but does it sound plausible to you guys? I know shocks are linked diagonally.

Yeah sounds right my rear was knocking opposite to front...........
Just get some KW’s on
mines a different car now & no listening for knocks all the time
