Tommv6 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi new to the forum recently bought an a6 Le Mans. I found an oil leak, took it to the garage. The mechanic can’t seem to pin point the leak. The oil drips from around the bottom of the chain case/bellhousing. He is very good but has said the older v6’s used to leak from the chain/housing. It doesn’t seem to use an obscene amount of oil but there is a lot of oil down there. I really love the car but have I bought a lemon? any input would be massively appreciated :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Did you notice oil level dropping between services ? . 3.0tdi like any other engine will "sweat" especialy around turbo and back and back of the engine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
