Fun troubleshooting an oil leak in a snowstorm...

[Rob Beatty]

95 A6 sedan with V6-12V is leaking oil off the rear lower corner of the oil
filter housing.  I took the filter off today.  Tightened down the bolt
behind it but its still coming out in a steady stream when the car is
running.  Doesn't leak when its not running.  As its snowing out there right
now, getting under the car is not something I am really interested in doing
tonight, so I will wait.  Any thoughts?  Could it be the seals in the filter
housing/oil cooler?  

 

Thanks,

 

Rob
