[s-cars] [NurSC] Optimized garret chip... should I be scared

[Tom Black]

Gents,
Any good advice on how to end the camshaft cover oil leaks? Had mine done 
and a few weeks later the oil drip re-appeared.

Vincent,

I have an allroad with the 2.7t and APR chip tune, @ ~60,000
miles my turbos were replaced (luckily under warranty). One of the
standard upgrades on these engines is to go to the K04 turbo.

I don't know how to check the turbos but that would be one concern.

Another thing to check is oil leaks, they are infamous for camseal
failures.
