QST sorted a similar situation on my car and they are nearer Southampton.

Doug changed my Cam cover gasket and Cam tensioner gasket along with a 10k service so hopefully that should have cured the mystery burning oil smell

Cam seal gasket is a common cause of seaping and in car oil smells.

Just had mine done for the same reason, and the gasket under the vvt thingy at the back.
Car still in bits due to a strange wiring noise, suspect fan coupling anyone else had that ?

When it rains it pours, have posted a thread:
Audi main dealers are a bunch of *@£%?!, explaining my new found issue and how helpful Audi have decided not to be. I've been without her for 5 days already! It really sucks.

Cheers for the posts, i'll look into QST :)
