A6 oil leak

[Sean Ford]

Andrew,
the most common oil leak on the 2.8 30v is at the cam seal, followed by the
leaking valve cover, though I would say those are almost rare compared to the
sieve that was the 12v. 

The cam seal leak is a much more expensive leak to fix, roughly $1200. Let's
hope his particular leak is actually only an additional $4xx to fix.
