[V8] Oil Consumption ABH Engine

More often than not what you describe is from the power steering system.

I have a small oil consumption problem in a 4.2 ABH V8 engine that might be
oil 
escaping the engine. This occurs after my Audi has been driven at highway
speed 
(high oil pressure) and braked to a stop. I get light external smoke and the
smell of 
hot oil coming out from under the hood. I believe oil is dripping under
pressure 
onto the junction of the exhaust pipes just below/behind the engine. I am
hoping 
this is not the rear seal, but possibly from the breather hose into the
crankcase etc. 
Since others have concerns over high pressure related oil consumption, is
leaking 
oil near the exhaust a common problem?   Bob Williams
