Oil leak

Something is leaking from the forward right side of the car. Checked the oil cooler pipes from under the car and they looked in perfect condition. I talked to an audi mechanic aswell and since the oil is rather transparent/yellow-ish and not dark/black its probably not the oil cooler pipes.

What else is up there that might leak oil? :boohoo:

If it is, the o-rings are about £25 each from Audi. You will most likely need two. However you may have an issue with your actual pipes as sometimes they rub together which causes them to wear away at the braiding which causes them to split. There was a recall on these pipes due to this from Audi . However your oil drops seem to be minimal so I would lean towards the o-rings.

Hope that helps.
