A4 Avant spewing oil

[Tony Hoffman]

Specifically the timing chain tensioner, and the half moon under it.
VERY common on the 1.8's. I like to put a small bit of silicone around
the half moon before instilation, that gives a bit more room for error
when the moon gets old and shrinks. Then again, the silicone I use may
also be dried up and useless by that point too.............:-)
