Leaky C5 RS6 help

Post by 6172crew » Sat Oct 24, 2015 4:43 pm

I could use some help identifying a leak on my RS6.

The leak is coming down the rear of the passenger exhaust manifold, but it isn't the valve cover. It isnt the oil cooler, that area and under the valve cover and onto the air pipe are dry.

Thanks in advance, :nogarors4:

I think I have a cracked valve cover, the leak was under a egr line and I couldnt see it with my mirror, I just started poking my finger back there and found fresh oil. :bigblink:

You might be better off posting this in the C5 RS6 specific bit of this forum as this part of the forum isn't used that much whereas the RS6 section is bursting with help.
